Minutes before his entrance, the new Commander-in-Chief inspected the Quarter Guard at the presidential gate.

After Tinubu’s first meeting today, the presidency is expected to announce key principal officers of the new administration including his Chief of Staff, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, National Security Adviser and Spokesperson.
