A prominent politician and former governor of Lagos State (1999–2007), Tinubu is a key figure in Nigerian politics and a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Known for his role in developing Lagos into a major economic hub, he is often credited with implementing reforms that improved the state’s infrastructure, economy, and public services.

Tinubu has a background in finance, having studied accounting in the U.S. and worked with firms like Deloitte. His career has included some controversy, with allegations related to his wealth and political dealings, but he remains a major power broker in Nigerian politics. His presidency has focused on economic reforms, such as subsidy removal and currency unification, aimed at stimulating economic growth and tackling Nigeria’s fiscal challenges.
