2026 Speech: Tinubu’s New Year message 

President Bola Tinubu says 2026 marks the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth.

The President stated this on Thursday in his New Year’s message to Nigerians,

Fellow Compatriots,

I welcome you all to 2026, with gratitude to God and confidence in our collective resolve that this new year will be a more prosperous one for our nation, our citizens, and all who call Nigeria home.

During 2025, we sustained the momentum on our major reforms. We had a fiscal reset and also recorded steady economic progress.

Despite persistent global economic headwinds, we recorded tangible and measurable gains, particularly in the economy.

These achievements reaffirm our belief that the difficult but necessary reforms we embarked upon are moving us in the right direction with more concrete results on the horizon for the ordinary Nigerian.

As we enter 2026, our focus is on consolidating these gains and continuing to build a resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and growth-oriented economy.

We closed 2025 on a strong note. Despite the policies to fight inflation, Nigeria recorded a robust GDP growth each quarter, with annualised growth expected to exceed 4 per cent for the year.

We maintained trade surpluses and achieved greater exchange rate stability. Inflation declined steadily and reached below 15 per cent, in line with our target.

In 2026, we are determined to reduce inflation further and ensure that the benefits of reform reach every Nigerian household.

In 2025, the Nigerian Stock Exchange outperformed its peers, posting a robust 48.12 per cent gain and consolidating its bullish run that began in the second half of 2023.

Supported by sound monetary policy management, our foreign reserves stood at $45.4 billion as of December 29, 2025, providing a substantial buffer against external shocks for the Naira. We expect this position to strengthen further in the new year.

Foreign direct investment is also responding positively. In the third quarter of 2025, FDI rose to $720 million, up from $90 million in the preceding quarter, reflecting renewed investor confidence in Nigeria’s economic direction, which global credit rating agencies, including Moody’s, Fitch, and Standard & Poor’s, have consistently affirmed and applauded.

A few days ago, I presented the 2026 Appropriation Bill to the National Assembly.

In that address, I emphasised that our administration has implemented critical reforms that are laying a solid foundation for long-term stability and prosperity.

With patience, fiscal discipline, and unity of purpose, Nigeria will emerge in 2026 stronger and better positioned for sustained growth.

As inflation and interest rates moderate, we expect increased fiscal space for productive investment in infrastructure and human capital development.

We are also confronting the challenge of multiple taxation across all tiers of government. I commend states that have aligned with the national tax harmonisation agenda by adopting harmonised tax laws to reduce the excessive burden of taxes, levies, and fees on our people and on basic consumption.

The new year marks a critical phase in implementing our tax reforms, designed to build a fair, competitive, and robust fiscal foundation for Nigeria.

By harmonising our tax system, we aim to raise revenue sustainably, address fiscal distortions and strengthen our capacity to finance infrastructure and social investments that will deliver shared prosperity.

My fellow Nigerians, the path of reform is never easy, but it is necessary. We remain mindful that economic progress must be accompanied by security and peace.

Our nation continues to confront security threats from criminal and terrorist elements determined to disrupt our way of life.

In collaboration with international partners, including the United States, decisive actions were taken against terrorist targets in parts of the Northwest on December 24.

Our Armed Forces have since sustained operations against terror networks and criminal strongholds across the Northwest and Northeast.

In 2026, our security and intelligence agencies will deepen cooperation with regional and global partners to eliminate all threats to national security.

We remain committed to protecting lives, property, and the territorial integrity of our country.

I continue to believe that a decentralised policing system with appropriate safeguards, complemented by properly regulated forest guards, all anchored on accountability, is critical to effectively addressing terrorism, banditry, and related security challenges.

The new year marks the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth, with tangible improvements in the lives of our people.

We will accelerate the implementation of the Renewed Hope Ward Development Programme, aiming to bring at least 10 million Nigerians into productive economic activity by empowering at least 1,000 people in each of the 8,809 wards across the country.

Through agriculture, trade, food processing, and mining, we will stimulate local economies and expand grassroots opportunities.

We will also continue to invest in modernising Nigeria’s infrastructure – roads, power, ports, railways, airports, pipelines, healthcare, education, and agriculture to strengthen food security and improve quality of life.

All ongoing projects will continue without interruption.

To achieve our objectives in 2026, we must all play our part.

Nation-building is a shared responsibility. We must stand together in unity and purpose, uphold patriotism, and serve our country with honour and integrity in our respective roles.

Let us resolve to be better citizens, better neighbours, and better stewards of our nation.

Fellow Nigerians, I wish you all a peaceful, productive, and prosperous New Year.

May God continue to bless and protect our beloved country, keep our troops safe and destroy the enemies bent on disrupting our national peace, security and stability.

Happy New Year to you all.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR

President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,

Federal Republic of Nigeria

  1. A well calibrated piece that knew its scope and stayed inside it, and a look at shoprova maintained the same scope discipline, scope creep is one of the failure modes of long blog posts and this site has clearly invested in the editorial discipline to prevent it which shows up in tightly contained pieces.

  2. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at pillowmanor reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  3. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at baznora stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  4. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at claritybuilder continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

  5. Picked a single sentence from this post to remember, and a look at byrdbush gave me another to keep, content that produces memorable lines is doing more than just transferring information and the small selection of sentences I keep from each reading session is one of the actual returns I get from reading carefully.

  6. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at ideaflowengine sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  7. Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at actionforwardnow extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  8. Really clear writing, the kind that makes you want to share the link with someone who has been asking about the topic, and a quick browse through lorzavi only made me more sure of that, the information here stays useful long after the first read is done which says a lot.

  9. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at focusframework kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  10. Felt the writer respected me as a reader without making a show of doing so, and a look at valzino continued that quiet respect, this is the kind of small but meaningful detail that separates the sites I bookmark from the ones I close after a single skim and never return to again no matter how interesting the headline.

  11.

  15. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at masonotter got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  16. Now feeling the quiet pleasure of finding writing that takes itself seriously without being self serious, and a stop at ampleclam extended that subtle pleasure, the gap between earnest and pretentious is fine and this site has clearly chosen to land on the earnest side without slipping over into pretentious which is impressive.

  17. Really appreciate the confidence to make a clear point rather than hedging everything, and a quick visit to cartvilo maintained the same direct stance, writing that takes positions rather than equivocating is more useful even when the positions are debatable because at least the reader has something to react to clearly.

  18. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at modrivo extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  19. Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at nudgelynx confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.

  20. Люди помогите советом Муж просто потерял себя Соседи стучат в стену В больницу тащить страшно Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — прокапаться от алкоголя цены приемлемые Приехали через 40 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — капельница от запоя воронеж [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru]капельница от запоя воронеж[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

    Запах дома formulacomfort.ru невидимый, но важный элемент уюта. Ароматические свечи, диффузоры и саше создают атмосферу. Лаванда расслабляет, цитрус бодрит, ваниль успокаивает. Выбирайте натуральные ароматы, чтобы не вызывать головную боль. Свежий хлеб, кофе или выпечка — лучшие Уют в каждой детали.

  22. Здорова, народ Брат снова сорвался Жена в истерике Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — капельница от запоя с витаминами и препаратами Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — поставить капельницу от запоя на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  23. Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at lullneon maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.

  24. If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at nickelpearl extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.

  25. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at chordaria extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  26. Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at promparsley kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.

  27. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at byrdbrig continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  28. como retirar dinero de chicken road [url=https://chicken-road71226.icu/]https://chicken-road71226.icu/[/url]

  29. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at directionalsystems extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.

  30. Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at buymixo reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.

  31. Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at shopvato extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  32. Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at momentumfollowsfocus extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.

  33. Bookmark added without hesitation after finishing, and a look at javcab confirmed I should bookmark the homepage too rather than just this page, the rare site that earns category level trust rather than just single article approval is the kind I want to rely on across many different topics over time.

  34. Now thinking about whether the writer might publish a longer form work I would buy, and a look at amberflux suggested the same depth would translate, content that makes me want to pay for related work in other formats is content that has earned commercial trust as well as attention trust and this site has both clearly.

  35. Big thanks to whoever wrote this, you saved me a lot of time hunting for the same info on other sites, and a stop at moveideasforwardnow only added more useful detail without going off topic, that kind of focus is honestly hard to come across these days when most posts wander everywhere.

  36. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at strategyforward provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.

  38.

  41. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at lovqaro kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  45. Reading this prompted me to send the link to two different people for two different reasons, and a stop at astrebeige provided ammunition for a third share, content that suits multiple audiences without being generic enough to be useless to any of them is genuinely valuable and this site has that multi audience quality clearly.

  47. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at buildprogresswithintent kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.
