Since his inauguration on 28th May 2023, President Tinubu has faced severe
challenges. The removal of fuel subsidy & the drastic fall of the naira has
brought untold hardship to the Nigerian populace. The President has solved
some issues like the UAE visa situation for Nigerians and is working hard trying
to woo investors to Nigeria. However, multinationals Unilever, GlaxoSmithkline
& Procter & Gamble have all left Nigeria in 2023. Can President Tinubu get
them or new investors back? His international diary will suggest he is trying to.
