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. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at worthline reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  2. Granted I am giving this site more credit than I usually give new finds, and a look at honorcapital continued earning that credit, the calibration of how much trust to extend after limited exposure is something I do carefully and this site has earned more trust on shorter exposure than most due to consistent quality across.

  3. Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at ideasigniteprogress was the same, no need to scroll through endless intros just to get to the actual content, that approach alone is enough reason to come back here regularly for the kind of writing offered.

  6. I really like how the writer keeps the tone friendly without sounding fake or overly polished, and after a stop at motionintelligence the same calm pace was there, no rushing to make a point and no padding either, just clean honest writing that I can respect and come back to later again.

  7. Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over focuscreatespathways the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.

  8. Better signal to noise ratio than most places I check on this kind of topic, and a look at ideasgainmomentum kept that going, every paragraph here carries something worth reading rather than padding out the page to hit some arbitrary length target that search engines reward but readers ignore as soon as they notice it.

  9. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at focusfeedsmomentum 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.

  10. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at capitalanchor 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.

  11. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at bondedfoundation continued that quiet quality, confident writing without the loud display of confidence is a rare combination and this site has clearly developed both the knowledge and the editorial restraint to land that combination consistently.

  14. During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at directionbuilder maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.

  15. Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at makeimpact extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.

  16. Genuinely changed how I think about a small piece of the topic, which does not happen often online, and a look at forwardpathconstructed added another nudge in the same direction, the kind of writing that earns a small mental shift rather than just confirming what you already thought before reading is a sign of careful thought.

  17. Good post, the kind that respects the reader by getting to the point quickly without skipping the details that matter, and a short look at digitaldreams confirmed that approach is consistent across the site which is rare to find online these days, definitely a place I will return to soon.

  18. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at lotusosprey sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  19. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at signalactivatesmomentum extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  20. Most of my reading time goes to a small number of trusted sources and this one is now joining that group, and a stop at growthpathway reinforced the group membership, the few sites that earn a place in my regular rotation are sites I expect ongoing returns from and this one has earned that elevated position consistently.

  21. Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at creativeplanet confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.

  22. Now setting up a small reminder to revisit the site on a slow day, and a stop at directionalshiftlab confirmed the reminder was a good idea, planning return visits is a small organisational act that signals trust in ongoing quality and this site has earned that planned return through consistent performance across the pieces I have read so far.

  23. Now feeling that this site is the kind I want to make sure does not disappear, and a look at trustedfoundation 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.

  24. Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at bondedlegacyhub continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.

  25. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to bondedgrowthnetwork kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  27. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at signalunlocksprogress confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  28. Worth saying that the writing carries a particular kind of authority without making any explicit claims to it, and a stop at growthalignment extended that earned authority feeling, sites that demonstrate expertise through the quality of their explanations rather than by stating credentials are sites I trust most and this site has it.

  29. Honest take is that I will probably forget most of what I read online today but this post is one I will remember, and a stop at solidanchor kept that same memorable quality going, certain writing leaves a residue in the mind in a way most content simply does not manage.

  30. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at ideasfindmomentum took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

  31. Worth saying that the prose reads naturally without straining for style, and a stop at capitaltrustline maintained the same unforced quality, writing that achieves elegance without effort is the highest tier and this site has clearly worked out how to land that effortless quality consistently rather than only on the writers best days.

  32. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at growthmoveswithpurpose extended that protected attention, content that earns the prime morning reading slot before the daily distractions begin is content with elevated status and this site has earned that prime slot consistently in my recent reading habits clearly.

  33. Thanks for keeping the writing direct without losing the warmth that makes content feel human, and a stop at bondedvision carried both qualities forward, balancing professionalism and personality is a rare skill and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently land it across many posts which I notice.

  34. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at primeharbor reinforced that defence list, the few sites that serve as evidence the web can still produce good things are precious and this one has clearly joined that small list of exemplary sites.

  35. Found this really helpful, the explanations are simple but they actually answer the questions a normal reader would have, and after I followed growthmoveswithdesign I had a clearer sense of the topic, no extra fluff just useful points laid out in a sensible order that made the time worth it.

  36. Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at directionhub continued that clarity into related areas, when a writer gets the level of explanation right the reader does the heavy lifting themselves and the post just enables it.

  37. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at ideasneeddirection suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  39. Reading this fit naturally into my afternoon walk because I was reading on my phone, and a stop at progressbuilder continued well in that walking format, content that survives mobile reading without becoming awkward is content with format flexibility and this site has clearly thought about how it reads across different devices today.

  40. Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at growthmatrix 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.

  41. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at growthalign added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

  42. However measured this site clears the bar I set for sites I take seriously, and a stop at forwardpathenergized continued clearing that bar, the metrics I use for site quality are admittedly informal but they are consistent and this site has cleared them on multiple measurements across multiple visits which is meaningful for my evaluation.
