Pledged extensive road construction and rehabilitation across rural and urban Ebonyi, including township roads, strategic bridges, and the iconic VANCO flyover with twin underground tunnels in Abakaliki.

The administration constructed, rehabilitated, or has ongoing over 700 kilometres of roads. Key projects include the 23km Ezillo–Ezzagu Road, 10.1km Ovudechi Iziogo Road, 7.23km Iziogo–Ndiokeeda Road, Ishielu Water Works Road, Nnorom Street, Udude-Ukwuakpu Street, and the 16.7km Randa–Ojiegbe–Otam Road. The VANCO flyover and twin underground tunnels—described as a first-of-its-kind in the Southeast—are progressing toward 2026 completion.

Promised to prioritise education through a state of emergency declaration, construction of 39 model secondary schools with modern classrooms and laboratories, establishment of a University of ICT and a University of Aviation, and expanded local and foreign postgraduate scholarships.

The administration constructed 39 model secondary schools, established the University of Information, Communication and Technology at Oferekpe Agbaja and the University of Aviation and Aeronautical Engineering at Ezza, and awarded foreign and local postgraduate scholarships to over 1,000 students. Courses commenced at the ICT University. However, teacher shortages and uneven quality across the state's 13 local government areas remained challenges.

Committed to equipping 13 general hospitals with MRI machines and modern medical equipment, recruiting medical personnel, and providing free maternal and child healthcare insurance coverage.

The administration equipped 13 general hospitals with MRI machines and modern equipment, recruited 195 medical officers (doctors, nurses, pharmacists), upgraded primary healthcare centres statewide, distributed ambulances and utility vehicles, and launched free maternal and child healthcare through the Ebonyi State Health Insurance Agency (EBSHIA). Over ₦10 billion was committed to healthcare infrastructure. However, universal coverage remained far from achieved.

Committed to significantly increasing the state's internally generated revenue to reduce dependence on federal allocations and fund capital projects.

Monthly IGR grew from below ₦2 billion to a record ₦2.1 billion in December 2025—the highest since the administration's inception. The state achieved a 100 percent score in the 2025 Budget Fiscal Transparency League. However, Ebonyi still receives one of the lowest allocations from the Federation Account, and IGR remains modest relative to the state's ambitious budget sizes (₦884.87 billion proposed for 2026).

Promised targeted economic empowerment and skills training for youth, women, and vulnerable residents, including street hawkers and those in menial jobs across major cities.

The administration approved a ₦1 billion empowerment programme benefiting 500 hawkers and small-scale traders with ₦2 million each, and a broader ₦3 billion programme for 1,500 young Ebonyians in three phases of 500 beneficiaries each. Vocational training graduates received start-up grants. However, comprehensive outcome tracking for beneficiaries was not published, and the scale remained limited relative to youth unemployment.

Pledged to transform agriculture through mechanisation support, fertilizer distribution, revival of the Nkaliki Hatchery, construction of a major feed mill, and development of oil palm and cassava value chains.

The administration distributed fertilizers, revived the Nkaliki Hatchery, constructed a feed mill, and provided mechanisation support to farmers. Two-kilometre roads were constructed in over 140 autonomous communities to improve farm-to-market access. However, large-scale agro-industrial processing and concrete job creation figures were not independently verified.

Sought election in 2023 on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and promised to deliver the People's Charter of Needs agenda.

Nwifuru was declared winner of the March 2023 governorship election with 199,131 votes, defeating PDP's Chukwuma Odii (80,191 votes) and APGA's Bernard Odoh (52,189 votes). The Election Petitions Tribunal, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court all upheld his election, with the Supreme Court dismissing the appeals in January 2024 for lacking merit.

Committed to reducing communal conflicts, resolving boundary disputes, and protecting communities from armed attacks and herdsmen incursions.

The administration reportedly resolved multiple long-standing communal conflicts and created a Ministry of Border Peace and Conflict Resolution. However, in January 2026, suspected herdsmen attacked Okporojo Community in Edda LGA, beheading four people. The governor responded by sacking all government appointees from Amasiri, dissolving community development unions, withdrawing the traditional ruler's certificate, and deploying security forces. Human rights activist Joy Idam petitioned the ICC alleging genocide in Amasiri, which the government strongly denied.

Promised to modernise urban transportation in Abakaliki and across the state through tech-driven mobility platforms.

The administration launched EBOCAB, a state-backed digital transport system, in 2025 to modernise urban transportation, enhance safety, and create employment for drivers. EBOTRANS was also referenced as part of the transport modernisation agenda. However, the reach and adoption of these platforms across the state's 13 LGAs was not comprehensively documented.
