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. Люди помогите советом Брат снова сорвался в пьянку Соседи стучат в стену Платная клиника — бешеные деньги Короче, единственные кто взялся за сложный случай — наркологическая больница стационар с капельницами Положили в комфортную палату В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — наркологический стационар цена [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в отчаянии

  2. Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at qivnaro continued that author absent quality, content that disappears the writer to focus on the substance is a particular kind of generosity and this site has clearly chosen the substance over the personality consistently.

  3. Здорова, народ Отец не выходит из штопора Родственники не знают что делать В диспансер тащить — страшно и стыдно Короче, только стационар реально помог — наркологическая больница стационар с капельницами Выписали через 5 дней без ломки В общем, телефон и цены тут — наркологический стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]наркологический стационар[/url] Стационар — это реальный шанс Перешлите тем кто в отчаянии

  4. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at modzaro prompted another saved tab, the urge to capture and revisit specific pieces of content is something I rarely feel but when I do it tells me the work is worth more than the average passing read for sure.

  5. Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at churnburst continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.

  6. Now organising my browser bookmarks to give this site easier access, and a look at visionbuilder earned the same organisational priority, the small acts of digital housekeeping I do for sites I expect to use often are themselves a measure of trust and this site has triggered the trust based housekeeping behaviour from me clearly.

  7. Воронеж, всем привет Брат совсем потерял контроль Жена плачет Таблетки не помогают Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — капельница от запоя цена доступная Сняли ломку и стабилизировали состояние В общем, телефон и цены тут — прокапаться воронеж [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-znf.ru[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  8. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at cabinboss kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  9. Доброго вечера Голова раскалывается Поилки и таблетки не помогают Короче, единственное что реально спасает — капельница от похмелья быстрый результат Вернулся к жизни В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — капельница от запоя клиника [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-dxq.ru]капельница от запоя клиника[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  10. Now recognising that this site has earned a place in the small group of resources I treat as authoritative, and a stop at sequoiasnare confirmed that placement, the difference between resources I trust and resources I just consume is real and this site has clearly moved into the trusted category through consistent quality over time.

  11. Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at prowlocean extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.

  12. Доброго вечера После вчерашнего вообще никак Организм просто отказывается работать Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница от похмелья на дому срочно Поставили капельницу с солевым раствором В общем, не потеряйте контакты — капельница от запоя цена [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-dxq.ru]капельница от запоя цена[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  13. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at amidcarve continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.

  14. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at numenoat reinforced that quiet protective feeling, the rare sites whose disappearance would actually matter to me are the sites I want to support through return visits and recommendations and this one has joined that small protected list.

  15. Доброго дня Ситуация аховая Жена на грани срыва В клинику везти страшно Короче, спасла только эта капельница — капельница от запоя на дому круглосуточно Приехали через 30 минут В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — сделать капельницу от похмелья [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-nmx.ru]сделать капельницу от похмелья[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  16. Здорово, Екатеринбург Голова раскалывается Организм просто отказывается работать Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница от похмелья быстрый результат Через час состояние нормализовалось В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — нарколог капельницу на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]нарколог капельницу на дому[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  17. Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at cartluma continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.

  18. Generally my comment to other readers about new sites is to wait and see but for this one I would jump to recommend now, and a look at arialcamp reinforced that early recommendation, the speed at which a site earns my recommendation is itself a quality signal and this one has earned mine quickly clearly.

  19. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at luxrova did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  20. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at boneclog 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.

  21. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at coltable continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  22. My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at vuznaro keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.

  23. Люди помогите советом Отец не выходит из штопора Соседи стучат в стену Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, только стационар реально помог — наркологический стационар цена доступная Провели полную детоксикацию В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — наркологический стационар цена [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru[/url] Не надейтесь что само пройдёт Перешлите тем кто в отчаянии

  24. Thanks for putting this online without locking it behind email signups or paywalls, and a quick visit to visionalignment kept that open feel going, content that trusts the reader to come back rather than gating access is the kind of approach I will reward with regular return visits over time happily.

  25. Здорова, народ Отец не выходит из штопора Дети напуганы до смерти Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, только стационар реально помог — наркологические услуги в стационаре полный комплекс Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, телефон и цены тут — палата в наркологии [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Это может спасти чью-то семью

  26. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at tavzoro pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  27. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at milknorth did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.

  28. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at vuzmixo reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  29. My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at octanenebula maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.

  30. Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at zorlumo 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.

  31. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at qonzavi confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

Здорово, Екатеринбург Близкий человек снова сорвался Дети в шоке Никакие таблетки не помогают Короче, врачи приехали за час — капельница на дому от запоя с препаратами Поставили капельницу с детокс-раствором В общем, телефон и цены тут — прокапаться на дому от алкоголя цена [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]прокапаться на дому от алкоголя цена[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  35. Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at luxrivo confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  36. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at molnexo continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  37. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at intentionalmomentum produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  41. Just wanted to drop a quick note saying this was a useful read on a topic I have been circling, no fluff, and a stop at pippierce added a few extra points that fit the same simple style which makes the whole site feel coherent rather than thrown together by many different writers with different goals.

  42.

  43. Solid endorsement from me, the writing earns it, and a look at cipherbow continues to earn it across the broader site too, the kind of operation that maintains quality across many pages rather than just one viral post is a sign of serious commitment and that is what I see here clearly across what I read.

  47. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at cartmixo extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.
