Tinubu Pledges 10,000MW Electricity, Single-Digit Inflation and 6% Growth by 2031
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has pledged to increase Nigeria’s available electricity generation to 10,000 megawatts, reduce inflation to below 8 per cent and achieve 6 per cent annual economic growth by 2031 if re-elected for a second term.
The commitments are contained in the All Progressives Congress (APC) manifesto titled From Reform to Prosperity: Agenda 2027–2031, which outlines the administration’s proposed priorities for another four years in office.
The manifesto also targets the creation of one million export-linked jobs for young Nigerians by 2030, the recruitment of 78,000 additional security personnel by 2031 and the construction of 200,000 homes under a proposed mass social housing scheme.
In the education and health sectors, Tinubu promises to halve the number of out-of-school children, employ 20,000 additional teachers, expand health insurance coverage and make at least 90 per cent of primary healthcare centres functional.
The APC says it will also strengthen security, improve infrastructure, expand food production and reduce the cost of living, while introducing public dashboards to track the implementation of its promises.
The manifesto presents the proposed second term as a period for translating the administration’s economic reforms into improved living conditions, reliable electricity, employment opportunities and better public services.
