Tinubu’s 2027 Manifesto: 78,000 Security Recruits, More Jobs and Lower Living Costs Promised

• Tinubu’s 2027 manifesto proposes 78,000 additional security personnel, six per cent annual economic growth and expanded investment in housing, education and electricity.

President Bola Tinubu has outlined plans to recruit 78,000 additional security personnel as part of his proposed agenda for a second term in office.

The commitments appear in the All Progressives Congress presidential manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031, ahead of the 2027 election.

The security proposal comprises 28,000 military personnel and 50,000 police officers. It aims to strengthen the response to terrorism, banditry and kidnapping, alongside improved protection for communities and Nigeria’s borders.

The 109-page document also sets a target of six per cent annual economic growth, linking the proposed second-term programme to improved employment opportunities and household incomes.

According to reporting on the document, the APC scheduled its unveiling for Tuesday, November 10, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.

Housing, education and electricity feature prominently in the proposed programme.

Tinubu promises to facilitate the construction of 200,000 affordable homes, recruit 20,000 additional teachers and expand available electricity generation towards 10,000 megawatts.

The manifesto also commits to reducing pressure on household budgets through a sustained decline in inflation and food prices. Its stated direction is to translate economic reforms into improvements that Nigerians can experience in their daily lives.

These commitments form part of the administration’s proposed programme for 2027–2031. The announcement does not constitute an invitation to apply for military, police or teaching positions, nor does it establish that housing allocations have begun. Implementation would require further government decisions, funding and announcements from the responsible agencies.
