The All Progressives Congress (APC) and its flag bearer, Muhammadu Buhari, are finally in charge of the nation’s government.
Desirous of change, Nigerians have voted for the APC, whose mantra was anchored on the promise of “Change” in several aspects of the nation’s life.
During the electioneering campaign,    President Muhammadu Buhari; his vice president, Yemi Osinbajo; and other top members of the party, made lots of promises to Nigerians.
TheCable, an online publication has compiled a list of some Buhari’s and APC’s promises to Nigerians, drawn from  APC manifesto, documents and promises made at campaign rallies. They will undoubtedly form the standard against which the APC government would be assessed when this new tenure ends in 2019.
Some of the promises , in no particular order include:
1. Public declaration of assets and liabilities

2. State and community policing

3. Ban on all government officials from seeking medical care abroad

4. Implementation of the National Gender Policy, including 35% of appointive positions for women

5. Revival of Ajaokuta steel company

6. Generation, transmission and distribution of at least 20,000 MW of electricity within four years and increasing to 50,000 MW with a view to achieving 24/7 uninterrupted power supply within 10 years.

7. Empowerment scheme to employ 740,000 graduates across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

10. Three million Jobs per year

11. [In another policy document by the APC] We will embark on vocational training, entrepreneurial and skills acquisition schemes for graduates along with the creation of a Small Business Loan Guarantee Scheme to create at least 5 million new jobs by 2019.
