The president made the promises on Tuesday, November 10, while addressing supporters at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign rally in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital.
Speaking at the rally, Tinubu outlined some of his administration’s priorities, including investment in healthcare, improved security, economic opportunities and a stronger industrial base.
He also criticised Nigeria’s existing electricity privatisation model, promising to adopt a different approach that would guarantee reliable power supply across the country.
“We will save lives, investment in medical stability and opportunity in every local government. We will lower the cost of living for security.
We will provide reliable power, not the old privatisation that is not working. We will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria.
We will stimulate a stronger industrial base for our country. We will help nano, small-scale and medium-scale businesses. We will expand job opportunities across all income earners. We will develop their skills,” he declared.
Tinubu further pledged to support businesses across different categories, noting that strengthening small and medium-scale enterprises would help stimulate economic activities and create more employment opportunities.
His renewed electricity promise comes amid continued concerns over Nigeria’s power supply and renewed scrutiny of his earlier commitment to improve electricity supply during the 2023 election campaign.
