It’s been three months and a few days -the milestone 100 days – since Bola Tinubu took office as Nigeria’s president, and within this period, Nigerians, who had endured harsh economic outcomes under the eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari, have been made to face even harder times. Petrol prices have tripled; university education has become unaffordable for many, cost of living has gone haywire, and the dollar now dances on the brink of N1,000 with attendant impact on inflation.
On the political front, the poor handling of Niger Republic coup has battered the reputation of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), chaired by Tinubu, even as coup fever continues to spread in the region, with yet another coup happening in the Central African country of Gabon last week.
