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. My friends would appreciate a few of these posts and I will be sending links accordingly, and a look at nuartlinnet added more pages to my share queue, content that earns shares to specific people in specific contexts is content with social utility and this site is generating those targeted shares from me consistently lately.

  2. Слушайте кто знает Голова раскалывается Нужно что-то серьёзное Короче, единственное что реально спасает — капельница от похмелья цена доступная Вернулся к жизни В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — поставить капельницу от запоя на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-voronezh-itw.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-voronezh-itw.ru[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  3. Reading this in three sittings because the day was fragmented, and the piece survived the fragmentation, and a stop at meadochre held up under similar reading conditions, content engineered for continuous attention is fragile in modern conditions and this site reads as durable across the realistic ways people consume content today.

  4. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at buyvani confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.

  5. Clean writing, easy to read, and never tries too hard to impress, that combination is harder to find than people think, and after my time on nylonmoss I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  6. Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at cocoaborn continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.

  7. Слушайте кто знает А на работу через пару часов Поилки и таблетки не помогают Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница от похмелья цена доступная Голова прошла и тошнота ушла В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — капельница от алкоголя на дому воронеж недорого [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-voronezh-itw.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-voronezh-itw.ru[/url] Не мучайтесь рассолами Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  8. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at styleluma kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  9. Started forming counter examples to test the claims and the post handled most of them implicitly, and a look at byrdclap continued that anticipatory style, writers who think two steps ahead of the critical reader save themselves from a lot of follow up work and this writer has clearly internalised that habit consistently.

  10. Reading this gave me a small framework I expect to use going forward, and a stop at ideaorchestration extended that framework, content that produces transferable mental models rather than just specific facts is content with multiplicative value and this site is providing those models at a rate that justifies extra attention from me regularly.

  11. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at clarityactivatesprogress pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  12. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at caskcloud earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  13. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at astrebull maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

  14. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at luxdeck only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

  15. Здорово, Екатеринбург Тошнит, трясёт, сил нет Рассол уже не лезет Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница от похмелья купить с выездом Через час состояние нормализовалось В общем, телефон и цены тут — капельница после похмелья [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]капельница после похмелья[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  17. Здорова, народ Ситуация тяжёлая Родственники не знают как помочь Нужна профессиональная помощь на дому Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница от запоя на дому круглосуточно Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — капельница от похмелья на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru]капельница от похмелья на дому[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  18. Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at claritymotion reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.

  19. Polished and informative without feeling overproduced, that is the sweet spot, and a look at qivmora hit it again, you can tell when a site has been built with care versus thrown together for the sake of having something to put online and this is clearly the former approach taken by the team.

  20. Looking for similar voices elsewhere has come up empty in my recent searches, and a stop at modvilo extended the search frustration, the rare site that does what no other does in quite the same way is precious and this one has clearly developed a particular approach that I have not been able to find duplicates of.

  21. Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at jazbrood extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.

  22. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at kanvoro extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  23. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at pipmyrrh added more material for those follow ups, content that prepares me for related conversations rather than just informing me alone is content with social utility and this site provides that social armament reliably for me.

  24. Здорово, народ Отец не выходит из штопора Жена в истерике Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, только капельница реально спасла — вызвать капельницу от запоя на дому быстро Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — сделать капельницу от похмелья [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-tyh.ru]сделать капельницу от похмелья[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  25. A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at ablebonus extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

  26. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to ariabrawn kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  27. Всем салют Отец не выходит из штопора Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, только капельница реально спасла — капельница от запоя цена доступная Через пару часов человек пришёл в себя В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — капельница от алкоголя воронеж [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-tyh.ru]капельница от алкоголя воронеж[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  29. Came in confused about the topic and left with a much firmer grasp on it, and after zorkavi I felt I could explain this to someone else without hesitation, that is the gold standard for any educational content and most sites simply fail to reach it ever which is unfortunate but true.

  30. Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at nudgelustre added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.

  31. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at growthoriented confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.

  32. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at buyvilo earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  33. Loved the writing voice here, friendly without being fake and confident without being arrogant, and a stop at coilbliss carried the same tone forward, the kind of personality that makes a reader feel welcome rather than lectured at which is a balance plenty of writers struggle to find no matter how long they have been at it.

  36. Здорово, народ Мой отец уже пятые сутки в запое Родственники не знают что делать В клинику везти страшно Короче, врачи приехали за полчаса — капельница на дому от запоя с препаратами Приехали через 30 минут В общем, не потеряйте контакты — капельница от похмелья на дом [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-nmx.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-nmx.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  37. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at meltmyrtle reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  38. Люди помогите советом Отец не выходит из штопора Родственники не знают что делать Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, единственные кто взялся за сложный случай — платный наркологический стационар с палатами Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, не потеряйте контакты — лечение алкоголизма стационар цены [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru[/url] Не надейтесь что само пройдёт Это может спасти чью-то семью

  39. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at nylonplain added more material I will pass along, recommending sites to colleagues is a higher bar than recommending to friends because the professional context demands more careful curation and this site cleared the professional bar without me having to think.

  40. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at stylevani suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  43. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at growthvector continued that agreement pattern, content that aligns with my existing views without seeming designed to do so is just content that happens to be reasonable and this site reads as reasonable rather than ideological mostly.

  46. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at luxmixo continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.
