We look at Nigeria's economic pressures as President Buhari is sworn in for a second term. One of Mr Buhari's electoral challengers Obadiah Mailafia tells us the president has made some progress on tackling corruption. But Akin Olawore, who runs an estate agency in Lagos, and chairs the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce, says regular power cuts are still a big problem. And economist Dr Nonso Obikili of the Turgot Centre for Economics and Policy Research discusses concerns that Nigeria's central bank has been printing money to directly finance the government's budget deficit. And Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial in New York, brings us up to date on the US-China tariffs dispute.
