President Bola Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, amid huge expectations. Since the return to civilian rule in 1999, he was the stalwart of the National Democratic Coalition, NADECO, which spearheaded the battle against military rule to lead the nation.

He marked his first Democracy Day on June 12, 2023 with aplomb.

Although the national economy was in poor condition when he took office,. three years in the saddle, the tide has been turbulent; there have been lamentations from the citizenry, but the ship of administration appears to be sailing despite the bumps and storms.
