He also targets completion of Coastal Rail (Lagos-Calabar) and will classify broadband as critical infrastructure.
“After addressing uniform Right of Way charges, Next Level is to move broadband coverage to 120,000 km of fibre network across Nigeria,” his manifesto says.
In terms of power, he targets a minimum of 1,000 MW new generation incremental power capacity per annum on the grid.
He says distribution will get to 7,000 MW, stating that nine universities will have uninterrupted power when he completes the First Phase of 37.
On off-grid power, he says, “Next level moves from 16 markets such as Sura, Ariaria to lighting up 300 markets and clusters with clean, uninterrupted off-grid power.”
That is not all. Buhari plans to set up People Moni Bank to provide soft loans of up to N1million to small traders, artisans carpenters, tailors, mechanics, hairdressers, barbers, plumbers, vulcanisers and commercial drivers (taxis, Keke and motorcycles).
“Next Level will take current number of 2.3 million traders, farmers, artisans under Trader Moni, Market Moni and Farmer Moni schemes to 10 million Nigerians under the People Moni Scheme.”
