Tinubu Defends Economic Reforms Amid Cost-of-Living Crisis
Nigeria's President Tinubu is celebrating two years in office and says his economic changes are working, even though things are tough right now.
He cut the cost of some things like gas and electricity but made the country's money worth less.
This caused prices to go up quickly, making it hard for people to afford things, which led to some protests.
While Tinubu believes security has improved, critics disagree, saying his changes aren't helping people and pointing out the high cost of living.

Tinubu's government devalued the naira and cut fuel/electricity subsidies.
Inflation has surged, leading to a cost-of-living crisis and protests.
