The national agenda

What Nigerians say needs attention now.

  1. 01

    Affordable living

    Food, rent, transport, energy and household income remain under severe pressure. Food-price inflation continues to shape everyday life.

  2. 02

    Safety and security

    Kidnapping, banditry, insurgency and communal violence affect personal safety, schooling, farming and local commerce.

  3. 03

    Productive work

    Citizens need sustainable jobs, fair opportunity for young people and an economy where work can provide a dependable living.

  4. 04

    Reliable power

    Affordable, dependable electricity is fundamental to homes, small businesses, clinics, schools and national productivity.

  5. 05

    Poverty and hunger

    Economic insecurity, food access and effective support for vulnerable households remain urgent national concerns.

  6. 06

    Accountable government

    Citizens expect transparent use of public resources, stronger institutions and credible action against corruption.

First-term policy positions

Priorities translated into accountable delivery.

These positions reflect a decentralised governing approach: more powers and funds for states, federal responsibility for national standards and shared infrastructure, and financing led by expenditure reform and private investment.

01

Lower the cost of essentials

Use targeted relief while reducing the underlying cost of food, transport and energy. Universal price subsidies would not be the default instrument.

Actions

  • Redirect lower-priority federal spending into time-limited support for verified vulnerable households.
  • Form federal-state food compacts covering farm security, storage, rural roads, market access and lower post-harvest losses.
  • Use transparently procured partnerships for mass transit, freight corridors and energy infrastructure that reduce household and business costs.
  • Create a predictable wage and pension review process informed by inflation, productivity and fiscal capacity.
Division of responsibility
States lead agricultural and transport delivery; the federal government sets standards, funds shared infrastructure and publishes comparable results.
Funding approach
Reallocated expenditure and competitively procured public-private partnerships.
Published measures
Food-price inflation, post-harvest losses, real wages, and the household share of income spent on transport and energy.
02

Secure communities and strengthen justice

Devolve appropriate policing powers to states while retaining national standards, federal border responsibilities and enforceable safeguards against abuse.

Actions

  • Establish state and community policing subject to independent state police commissions, federal minimum standards and regular audits.
  • Require legislative scrutiny, judicial review, transparent complaints procedures and published use-of-force data.
  • Integrate border surveillance, customs, immigration and firearms tracing to disrupt illegal arms flows.
  • Digitise case management and create properly resourced court pathways for kidnapping, violent crime and firearms offences.
Division of responsibility
States manage local policing; federal agencies retain national security, inter-state crime, borders and minimum professional standards.
Funding approach
Reallocate fragmented security programmes and condition federal grants on safeguards, audit compliance and public reporting.
Published measures
Kidnapping and violent-crime incidence, emergency response times, case duration, prosecution outcomes and verified public complaints.
03

Build reliable, decentralised electricity

Enable state and regional electricity markets, attract private capital and protect low-income users through a defined lifeline tariff.

Actions

  • Help states establish capable regulators, transparent market rules and voluntary regional power pools.
  • Procure private investment in generation, transmission and distribution through performance-based contracts and open competition.
  • Expand mini-grids, embedded generation and distributed energy for rural communities, public services and productive clusters.
  • Move toward cost-reflective tariffs while providing a limited lifeline band for verified low-income and low-consumption households.
Division of responsibility
States and regional markets lead local supply; the federal government coordinates the national grid, inter-state trade and common technical standards.
Funding approach
Private investment, infrastructure concessions and redirected public support focused on lifeline protection and commercially unviable access gaps.
Published measures
Reliable hours of supply, new connections, distribution losses, metering, service complaints and electricity cost per productive unit.

Evidence, not slogans

The public deserves clear facts.

Recent survey evidence places crime and insecurity, economic management, unemployment and electricity among the leading problems Nigerians want government to address. Current official statistics also show that food inflation remains a significant household concern.

Any public policy proposal should state its intended result, delivery timetable, financing source and independently verifiable progress measure.
