The manifesto titled Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0 consolidates the administration’s eight-point agenda into four strategic pillars covering a secure and resilient nation, better quality and more affordable life for every Nigerian, energy infrastructure and economic growth plus effective and accountable governance according to the document obtained by Punch newspaper.
