President Bola Tinubu has pledged to recruit an additional 28,000 military personnel and 50,000 police officers as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture and tackle terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.

The proposals are contained in the APC 2027 Presidential Election Manifesto, titled From Reform to Prosperity Agenda 2027–2031, a 109-page document outlining the party’s plans for the country.

According to the manifesto, Tinubu is also targeting six per cent annual economic growth, the construction of 200,000 affordable homes and a sustained decline in inflation and food prices by 2031.

The APC leadership is scheduled to unveil the manifesto on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja.
