Nigerian President Buhari's second term faces many challenges, including a sluggish economy and decade-long insurgency
The low-key ceremony is taking place in the capital Abuja while newly-elected governors are being sworn into office in state capitals.
Concern about extremist attacks, however, have prompted authorities in Buhari's home state of Katsina in the north to cancel the inauguration of its governor.despite a spike in attacks in northern Nigeria this year. This has left the military overstretched and seen Buhari criticised for failing to protect lives and property.The 76-year-old Buhari won February's election despite frustration with what many people have called a slow, insufficient approach to tackling corruption, insecurity and the economy.
During his first term, Buhari faced serious questions about his health. He spent more than 150 days outside the country for unspecified medical treatment.
