Atiku personally provides 60 percent subsidy by his own direct intervention to students of the AUN. This affords both the children of the rich and the children of the poor access to world-class education. Specially gifted children, regardless of their parental backgrounds are also afforded the opportunity to better their future through this first-class university. Even the vulnerable, among them the Chibok girls who escaped Boko Haram captivity, have found accommodation in the academy operated by AUN.
To help foster unity, tolerance and peaceful coexistence in northeast Nigeria, the Adamawa Peace Initiative (API) was set up at his prompting by the American University of Nigeria (AUN). The API is vehicle for promoting and maintaining peace in Adamawa State and indeed the North East region of Nigeria. Today, the API initiative is getting more than cursory look as a viable model for dealing with strife in multi-religious communities.

This year, the team visited ALL the 18 public schools in Ganye to distribute notebooks, pencils, biros, and teaching and learning materials to public schools.
The programme also shortlisted 10 brilliant students for scholarship awards for the next phase of their education. -AA

An ADC government under my leadership will take decisive action to address insecurity and protect lives and property in the country. We shall strengthen the armed forces, the police and other security agencies with massive new recruitment, provision of modern and adequate equipment, training, improved welfare and effective leadership. We shall also ensure accountability and proper coordination and intelligence sharing among all our security agencies.
It is obvious to us in the ADC that we can only secure our country long-term if we educate our young people and create an economy in which they and their families can thrive and help to change Nigeria and the world for the better.
Education
Under the watch of this APC government over 20 million of our school-age children are not in school. This cannot be tolerated in the modern world where education is the surest path to descent employment, wealth creation, national development and enlightened citizenry. We will, therefore, implement free and compulsory education at the primary and secondary levels and invest in leadership, entrepreneurial, technological and innovation skills amongst our teeming youth.

Nigeria cannot continue asking competent young people to wait outside the room while their future is being decided inside it.
MY COVENANT WITH YOU
Our partnership must also mean something practical in the lives of young Nigerians.
It begins with jobs and enterprise. Nigeria has millions of young people with ideas, energy and ambition, but too many cannot access the capital required to turn those ideas into businesses.
We will expand transparent access to finance for young entrepreneurs, artisans, farmers, technology founders and people working in the creative economy. Your surname, political connection or ability to find a godfather should not determine whether a good idea receives an opportunity to succeed.
Education must also change. We cannot continue educating young Nigerians for an economy that no longer exists. Our schools must place greater emphasis on science, technology, vocational education, agriculture, digital skills, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. And no brilliant Nigerian child should be denied tertiary education simply because his or her parents are poor.
peeji 3 National Chairman, African Democratic Congress Party Manifesto 2027-2031 2026-10-05 ›
INTRODUCTION Nigeria is at a defining moment where the choice is no longer between reform and stagnation, but between a system that works for the people and one that continues to fail them.
For too long, economic reforms have come at the expense of the people, governance has drifted away from accountability, and systems meant to serve citizens have instead constrained opportunity. This manifesto is built on a clear and deliberate philosophy: that the purpose of government is to work for the people and that reform must deliver real improvements in everyday life.
Its goals are simple and urgent: i) to end insecurity across the nation; ii) bring down the cost of living; iii) create more opportunities for Nigerians, and iv) ensure strict adherence to the rule of law.
This manifesto is anchored on three fundamental principles: i) That every policy, from economic reform to security to social protection, must be measured by its impact on citizens; ii) That Nigeria's challenges are structural and require coordinated, institutional solutions, not ad hoc interventions; and iii) That reform is necessary, but it must be sequenced, supported, and humane, ensuring that Nigerians are not pushed further into hardship in the process.

The state of education across Nigeria should require a state of emergency, it is not just in Adamawa State, So, my policy about education across Nigeria will enable more infrastructure in place in terms of classrooms and laboratories. In addition to that is that we will decisively de-escalate the problem of insecurity which remains the major reasons school-age children are not in classrooms, especially in Northern Nigeria. So, what I plan to do about education is to make sure more children are enrolled and we expand capacity to absorb more students.

Between 1999 and 2007, as Vice President, I was chairman of the National Economic Council and also supervised the Bureau of Public Enterprises. Our administration recorded tremendous successes in these two undertakings, first, by seeing to the growth of the national economy at the annual average of 7 per cent and, secondly, by making sure that government scarce resources were freed from keeping businesses that were running at a loss. All of these I achieved as Vice-President, in addition to facilitating the reform of our public education that made it compulsory for every Nigerian child to have free basic education with the creation of the Universal Basic Education Board. I wish our administration had ended the problem of power generation and supply, but unfortunately, the approach to achieving that objective was a major aspect where President Olusegun Obasanjo and I have disagreement.

On jobs, skills and enterprise, I see millions of young Nigerians with ideas, energy and ambition, but too many cannot access the capital to turn those ideas into businesses. I am committed to expanding transparent access to finance for young entrepreneurs, artisans, farmers, technology founders and people in the creative economy, so that your surname, political connection or ability to find a godfather does not determine whether your idea gets a chance to succeed. This includes a major financing programme for start-ups and entrepreneurs. Our objective is to move young Nigerians from dependence to enterprise, from unemployment to productivity, and from palliatives to prosperity.
On education, I want to change how we prepare young Nigerians for work. Our schools must place greater emphasis on science, technology, vocational education, agriculture, digital skills, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. No brilliant Nigerian child should be denied university, polytechnic or college education simply because his or her parents are poor. I see young Nigerians as the greatest national asset Nigeria has ever produced, innovators, farmers, engineers, doctors, teachers, entrepreneurs and artisans, and I believe no President can rebuild Nigeria without their active participation.
