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. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at holzix kept me past breakfast time, content that displaces basic biological needs is content with serious attentional pull and the writers here are clearly capable of producing that level of engagement which is genuinely impressive these days.

  2. Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at steamsurge maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.

  3. Worth your time, that is the simplest endorsement I can give, and a stop at mossmute extends that endorsement across the rest of the site, this is one of those increasingly rare places that delivers on what it promises rather than over selling the content and under delivering on substance every time which I find frustrating elsewhere.

  4. Доброго вечера, земляки Сосед совсем спился Дети в шоке В клинику тащить страшно Короче, единственное что вытащило из запоя — вызвать капельницу от запоя на дому срочно Приехали через 35 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — капельница от похмелья стоимость [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  7.

  8. Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at plumbplasma reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.

  9. Приветствую Жесть полная Дети в шоке В клинику тащить страшно Короче, врачи приехали за час — капельница на дому от запоя с препаратами Приехали через 35 минут В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — какую капельницу поставить от похмелья [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-ekaterinburg-sdj.ru[/url] Капельница — это реальный выход Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  10. Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at rivzavo confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.

  11. Time spent here today felt productive in the way that good reading sessions sometimes do, and a stop at urbanvilo extended that productive feeling across the rest of the morning, the difference between productive reading and merely passing time is real and this site is consistently on the productive side for me lately.

  12. Здорова, народ Отец не выходит из штопора Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, нарколог приехал за час — консультация нарколога на дому анонимно Приехал через 35 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — нарколог на дом вывод из запоя москва [url=https://narkolog-na-dom-moskva-xyz.ru]нарколог на дом вывод из запоя москва[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  13. Reading this gave me the rare experience of fully agreeing with all the conclusions, and a stop at clockbrace 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.

  14. Здорова, народ Сосед умирает на глазах Родственники в панике Домашние методы бесполезны Короче, нарколог приехал за час — услуги нарколога на дом качественно Дал рекомендации и успокоил семью В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — наркология на дом [url=https://narkolog-na-dom-moskva-qwe.ru]https://narkolog-na-dom-moskva-qwe.ru[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  15. Adding to the bookmarks now before I forget, that is how good this is, and a look at balticclose confirmed the rest of the site is worth saving too, this is one of those rare finds that justifies the time spent searching the web for once which is a relief in the current environment.

  16. plinko способы оплаты [url=http://plinko29475.help/]http://plinko29475.help/[/url]

  17. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at cartcab extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  18. Ребята кто хочет заработать Вечно то зарплата копейки Пересмотрел тысячи вакансий Короче, единственный где есть нормальные предложения — работа в Казахстане с высокой зарплатой График удобный В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — работа астана студентам [url=https://vakansii.sitsen.kz]работа астана студентам[/url] Не сидите без денег Перешлите тому кто ищет работу

  19. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at clarityroutehub extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  20. Слушайте внимательно То график убийственный Везде одно и то же Короче, реально рабочий вариант — сайт работы в Казахстане с актуальными вакансиями Зарплаты реальные В общем, сохраняйте себе — ищу работу казахстан [url=https://vakansii.trudvsem.kz]https://vakansii.trudvsem.kz[/url] Найдите нормальную работу Перешлите тому кто ищет работу

  21. plinko вывод usdt Казахстан [url=http://plinko29475.help/]http://plinko29475.help/[/url]

  22. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at lionpilot extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  23. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at balticbull 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.

  25. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at xomvani reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  26. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at muscatneedle carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  27. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at loudmark kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  28. Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at mavquro pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.

  29. Now appreciating that the post left me with enough to say in a follow up conversation, and a look at modmixo 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.

  30. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at nexzaro extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  31. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at purpleorbit continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.

  32. Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at dealmixo extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

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

  39. Decided to read more before commenting and the more I read the more I wanted to say something, and a stop at hupblob pushed that impulse further, when content provokes the urge to participate rather than just consume it is doing something quite specific and worth recognising clearly when it happens during reading.

  40. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at motelmorel continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  43. Now wondering how the writers calibrated the level of detail so well, and a stop at shopzaro continued the same calibration, the right level of detail is one of the harder editorial calls in any piece and this site has clearly developed an instinct for it through what I assume is years of careful practice publicly.

  44. Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at vincavessel extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.

  45. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at urbanvo furthered that reorganisation, content that affects the shape of my mental model rather than just decorating it with new facts is content with structural rather than informational impact and this site provides that.

  46.

  48. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at curlbyrd continued that engagement under suboptimal conditions, content that survives the reader being tired is content with extra reserves of pull and this site has the kind of writing that holds up even when I am not at my reading best.

  49. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at platenavy produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.
