What will you do to support poor and vulnerable Nigerians?
I will put people at the centre of national development by enacting a Social Protection Act that guarantees access to safety nets, pensions, and social insurance. This will make support for vulnerable Nigerians a permanent national responsibility, not a temporary programme. I will also implement targeted subsidies linked to education, healthcare, and livelihood support, so your family receives coordinated assistance that helps you move out of poverty and build a stable life.
