Significance
In some ways, as first lady, Remi Tinubu has cut a fairly conventional profile, focusing on areas such as public health and education. Yet she also wields significant political influence as a surrogate for the president, as a key personality in maintaining his political relationships and a focus of lobbying efforts.
Impacts
Sexism and other deeply ingrained social structures will present considerable obstacles to women seeking powerful political roles.
Gender-related issues and policies will not be a major priority for Tinubu’s administration.
Central Bank efforts to limit inflation and tackle the cost-of-living crisis will only have a limited impact.
