President Bola Tinubu has promised to provide reliable electricity, create more jobs and reduce the cost of living if re-elected for a second term in 2027.
Tinubu made the promises on Tuesday while addressing supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital.
The President said his administration would prioritise industrial development, support nano, micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (NMSMEs) and expand employment opportunities across the country.
“We will lower the cost of living. We will provide reliable power, not the whole privatisation that is not working. We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,” he said.
On economic reforms, Tinubu pledged to sustain the removal of petrol subsidy while continuing government intervention programmes, including the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND).

He also promised that funds recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from financial irregularities would be channelled into NELFUND to support students seeking access to higher education.
The President further pledged to establish six mechanised farming service centres across the country’s six geopolitical zones.
He said his administration would increase investment in irrigation and agricultural research to boost food production, improve agricultural productivity and reduce food prices.
The promises come amid persistent concerns over electricity supply, unemployment, rising food prices and the high cost of living.
Tinubu’s pledges formed part of his campaign commitments ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
