The All Progressives Congress (APC) will unveil President Bola Tinubu’s 2027-2031 presidential election manifesto on Tuesday, setting out his plans for a possible second term in office.
The unveiling is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, according to the party’s programme.
The 109-page document, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027-2031, outlines the administration’s proposed priorities for security, economic growth, infrastructure, education and healthcare.
According to the manifesto, Tinubu is targeting annual economic growth of six per cent, the construction of 200,000 affordable homes and the recruitment of 78,000 additional security personnel by 2031.
The proposed security recruitment includes 28,000 military personnel and 50,000 police officers to strengthen the fight against terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
The president also plans to increase electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts, recruit 20,000 additional teachers and ensure that at least 90 per cent of primary healthcare centres are functional.
On healthcare, the manifesto targets an increase in active health insurance coverage to 40 per cent of Nigerians, from more than 23 million current enrollees.
It also promises to halve youth unemployment and the number of out-of-school children while putting inflation on a sustained downward trend.
Tinubu said his proposed second term would focus on turning the economic reforms of his first tenure into improvements in Nigerians’ daily lives.
The manifesto states that the goal is to extend prosperity to “homes, markets, farms and workplaces across the country.”
