Tinubu promises lower food prices, 78,000 security recruits ahead of 2027

President Bola Tinubu has pledged to reduce food prices, halve youth unemployment and recruit 78,000 security personnel if re-elected in the 2027 presidential election.

According to PM News, the commitments are contained in the All Progressives Congress’ 109-page manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031.

The document outlines plans to achieve six per cent annual economic growth, recruit 28,000 military personnel and deploy 50,000 police officers.

It also proposes recruiting 30,150 civil defence personnel, constructing 200,000 affordable homes and expanding electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts.

On economic development, the manifesto states:

“Expanded jobs and higher real incomes: Annual economic growth accelerated to 6 per cent, youth unemployment halved, and equitable credit reached half of all economically active Nigerians.”

Tinubu also pledged to recruit 20,000 teachers, improve primary healthcare facilities and expand health insurance coverage to 40 per cent.

The APC scheduled the manifesto’s official unveiling for Tuesday in Abuja, outlining priorities for Tinubu’s proposed second term.
