President Bola Tinubu has promised to recruit 28,000 additional military personnel and 50,000 police officers as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture and tackle terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.

According to the 109-page APC 2027 Presidential Election Manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031,  Tinubu plans to achieve six per cent annual economic growth, facilitate the construction of 200,000 affordable homes and sustain a downward trend in inflation and food prices by 2031.

The APC leadership will unveil the 2027–2031 presidential manifesto on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

The event is scheduled to begin at 11 am.

Under the healthcare component of the manifesto, Tinubu promises to increase the number of functional primary healthcare centres to 90 per cent nationwide and expand active health insurance coverage to 40 per cent of Nigerians.

The manifesto further outlines plans to make communities safer, recruit and train 20,000 additional teachers and scale available electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts to improve access to power for households and businesses.

The President said his second term would focus on translating the economic reforms and foundations laid during his first tenure into tangible improvements in the lives of Nigerians, with prosperity extending to homes, markets, farms and workplaces across the country.
