Tinubu made the commitments while addressing supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Jigawa State, where he presented what he described as the party’s roadmap to prosperity.
The President outlined several priorities of his administration, beginning with improved healthcare delivery and investment in medical services across the country.
“Number one item, we save lives, investment in medical stability and opportunity in every local government,” he said.
He also pledged to tackle the rising cost of living, strengthen security and ensure Nigerians have access to dependable electricity.
“We will lower the cost of living, security. We will provide reliable power, not the old privatisation that is not working. We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” Tinubu declared.
The President’s comments come amid persistent public concerns over inflation, high food prices, rising transportation costs and the increasing expense of running businesses and households.
Nigeria’s electricity sector has also continued to face challenges, including unstable supply, inadequate generation and distribution capacity, and frequent disruptions to the national grid.
Tinubu suggested that his administration would pursue a different approach to electricity provision, although he did not provide specific details of the proposed alternative to the existing privatisation arrangement.
On economic growth and employment, the President promised to stimulate industrial development, support small and medium-scale enterprises and create more opportunities for Nigerians, particularly those living in rural communities.
“We will stimulate stronger industrial pace of our country. We will help small-scale business and medium-scale business. We will expand the job opportunity across rural income earners,” he added.
The promises form part of the APC’s political messaging ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the administration seeks to convince Nigerians that its economic and development policies will deliver improved living conditions.
However, the success of the commitments will depend on their implementation and the extent to which Nigerians experience measurable improvements in electricity supply, security, employment and household purchasing power.
