Speaking at the event, Tinubu said, “I promise that we will implement budget reforms to revive the economy without creating inflation and eradicate poverty.”

About 5,000 people participated in the swearing-in ceremony, including presidents of other countries, heads of state and governors, ministers, diplomats and officials of friendly countries.

He also promised to create jobs for the youth and involve more women in government affairs. On security, the new president announced plans to purchase more military weapons and other equipment and improve the welfare of security personnel.
