BBC World Service - World Business Report, Tinubu wins Nigeria's presidential election

Bola Tinubu has been declared the winner of Nigeria's presidential election

The electoral commission has declared ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu the winner of Nigeria’s presidential election against Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.

Bola Tinubu has won a tight race to succeed Muhammadu Buhari as the next president of Nigeria. The 70-year-old veteran politician received 37% of the vote. We hear from local businesses in Nigeria about the challenges they face and what they want to see change.

Supermarket owners in Lebanon have started pricing their goods in dollars after the lira hit another record low, trading at more than eighty thousand to the dollar on the parallel market. 


We also head to China as they have released its Purchasing Manager's Index which is an indicator for the country's manufacturing sector. It's great news for the Chinese economy as it turns out their factory activity has expanded at its fastest pace in more than a decade!
