President Bola Tinubu has renewed his promise to provide Nigerians with reliable electricity.\n<\/p>\n
Tinubu made the latest pledge on Tuesday at the All Progressives Congress rally at the Dutse Township Stadium in Jigawa State, where he outlined his administration\u2019s priorities ahead of the 2027 general election.\n<\/p>\n
The President said his government would adopt a different approach to addressing the country\u2019s electricity challenges, criticising the existing privatisation model.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will provide reliable power, not the old privatisation that is not working,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will provide you with reliable power in this Nigeria,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The latest promise echoes a commitment Tinubu made during a meeting with members of the Organised Private Sector in Lagos ahead of the 2023 presidential election.\n<\/p>\n
At the meeting, he pledged to provide constant electricity and end estimated billing, warning Nigerians against re-electing him if he failed to fulfil the promise, unless he provided adequate reasons for his inability to deliver.<\/p>\n
The President also outlined other priorities in the APC\u2019s manifesto, including investment in healthcare, reducing the cost of living, strengthening security and expanding economic opportunities. <\/p>\n
He said the government would invest in medical facilities and create opportunities in every local government.\n<\/p>\n
Tinubu also promised to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s industrial base and support businesses across different sizes.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will stimulate stronger industrial base of our country. We will help the nano, the small scale business and medium scale business,\u201d he said.\n<\/p>\n
He added that his administration would expand employment opportunities, improve incomes and develop the skills of Nigerians.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will expand the job opportunity across real income earners. We will develop their skills,\u201d the President said.\n<\/p>\n
Tinubu\u2019s visit to Jigawa also included the commissioning of four development projects and participation in the APC rally as the party intensifies mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election.<\/p>\n
