The text states that Tinubu will give the economy, agriculture, power, oil and gas, transportation, and education first priority.
It also covers alternatives for judicial reform, federalism/decentralization of power, foreign policy, women’s empowerment, healthcare, the digital economy, and women.
In order to increase jobs and possibilities for millions of Nigerian youngsters, the APC candidate also pledges to make large investments in sports, entertainment, and culture, as well as in youth empowerment and entrepreneurship.

In addition, Tinubu pledged to develop and maintain the vast social investment projects of the Buhari administration.
He pledged to bring about a fourth industrial revolution in the economy of the nation, assisting young people in changing from job searchers to employment creators.
According to reports, Tinubu stated in the document’s foreword that the ideas for the plans came to him after touring the entire nation and speaking with individuals from all walks of life.
The statement by Onanuga conveying Tinubu’s plan reads: “Our nation’s history affirms that our people constitute our most valuable treasure. Whether the hardworking farmer, the industrious market woman, the dynamic young entrepreneur or the hopeful child, Nigerian people rank among the best anywhere”.
“They excel in every aspect of human endeavour when given a fair chance.

“Senator Shettima and I have traversed every part of our beloved nation, listening to the concerns of our fellow citizens”.
“Young and old, poor and rich, educated and uneducated, Christian and Muslim; all have expressed their views and concerns. People do not seek superficial answers to hard questions. Nor do they want the broken, unimaginative, failed promises repackaged and fed to them again.
“They want true and innovative solutions which address the challenging realities of today.
“Our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) was founded on the premise that the people of our beloved country are entitled to the benefits that only progressive good governance can procure.”
Tinubu was further quoted in the statement as saying what he and his team achieved in Lagos can be done with Nigeria as well if elected in 2023.
He said; “When I was governor of Lagos, my team and I developed institutions and policies that changed the face of the state. It became a safe place for its residents and an engine of prosperity for all those willing to work in pursuit of their economic dreams”.
“What my team and I achieved in Lagos, together we all can achieve for Nigeria. Our objective is to foster a new society based on shared prosperity, tolerance, compassion, and the unwavering commitment to treat each citizen with equal respect and due regard.”

In the field of security, Tinubu pledged to expand on the successes previously made by President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
He said that the current administration had been successful in reducing insecurity, and he would continue by mobilizing the nation’s military, law enforcement, and national security resources to shield all Nigerians from risk and the fear of danger.
He said: “The current government has made important inroads. When it came into office, the Buhari government met situation in which terrorists had planted their flags and claimed Nigerian territory as their own. The Buhari government eliminated these incursions against our national sovereignty, bringing peace to many areas. Thousands of formerly displaced people have returned home to rebuild their lives.
“When I entered office as governor of Lagos, the state was crime-ridden. Safety was uncertain. The population was fearful. With bold, no-nonsense crime prevention reform and creative institution building, we won back our state.
“It became a safe and secure place to live and to do business. I shall bring the same determined, problem-solving spirit to solving insecurity at the national level.

“Our administration will be committed to permanently securing the safety, freedom and prosperity of all Nigerians.”
As part of his action plan, Tinubu said the police will be reformed to fully take responsibility for internal security.
“Police reform will be focused on positioning the institution to better deliver on its primary duties of community policing and maintaining law and order through crime fighting and prevention,” he maintained.
He however added that the roles that are not expected to be played by Police operatives will be taken away from them and transferred to the agency responsible for such which is the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
“Police personnel will be freed from extraneous duties such as VIP security and guard duties. VIP Security and provision of security for government buildings, installations and other critical assets will be transferred to The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).
