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. Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at buildmomentumonline kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.

  2. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at toptenufabetgames 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.

  3. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at globalcommercialalliances confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  4. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at wildthistlemarket reinforced that quiet wish, the gap between a sites quality and its apparent reach is sometimes large and that gap exists for this site in a way that makes me want to mention it more.

  5. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at mindfulwellnesshq 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.

  6. Worth saying that the quiet confidence of the writing is what landed first, and a look at secureecommercebuying 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.

  7. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at everydayonlinepurchase earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  8. Reading this triggered a small reorganisation of my own thinking on the topic, and a stop at clicktoexploreinnovations 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.

  9. Appreciate the thoughtful approach, the writer clearly took time to make this readable for someone who is not already an expert, and a look at reliabledealshoppingplace kept that going nicely, easy on the eyes and easy on the brain which is always a winning combination when reading on a busy day.

  10. Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at discoverstrategicoptions confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.

  11. Took a screenshot of one section to come back to later, and a stop at discovernewmarketangles 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.

  12. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at reliablepurchasehub extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.

  13. Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at futurefocusedalliances kept that standard going strong, content that rewards attention rather than punishing it is something I appreciate more and more these days online across nearly every topic I follow.

  14. A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at growwithinformedchoices continued that informed feel, writers who are also serious readers produce work with a different quality and this site reads as the product of someone steeped in good writing rather than just generating content for an audience.

  15. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at clickforgrowthinsights pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  16. Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at dailyshoppingpoint maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.

  17. Picked this site to mention to a colleague who would benefit, and a look at professionalcollaborationhub 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.

  18. 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 discoverprofessionalinsights 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.

  19. Really thankful for posts that respect a reader’s time, this one does, and a quick look at digitalbuyingexperience 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.

  20. Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at urbanretailshoppingzone continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.

  21. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at longtermpartnershipnetwork continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  22. A piece that handled the topic with appropriate weight without becoming portentous, and a look at modernonlineshoppinghub continued that calibrated seriousness, content that takes itself seriously without becoming pompous is something this site has clearly figured out and the balance shows up in every piece I have read across multiple sessions now.

  23. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at trustedcommercialbonds added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  24. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at buildsmarterdecisions only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  25. Thanks for the moderate length, neither so short it skips substance nor so long it bloats, and a stop at modegenerlshub hit the same balance, the right length is one of the hardest things to calibrate in blog writing and I appreciate when a team has clearly thought about it rather than defaulting.

  26. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at topufabetgames added more material worth passing along, the kind of site that is generous with quality content and does not make you jump through hoops to access it which is appreciated more than the team probably realises.

  27. Solid post, the structure is easy to follow and the language stays simple even when the topic gets a bit more involved, and a look at collectiveanchor kept that same standard going, so I left feeling like the time spent here was actually worth something for once which is rare lately.

  28. Pleasant surprise, the post delivered more than the headline promised, and a stop at securecommercialalliances continued that pattern of under promising and over delivering, the rarest combination on the modern web where most content does the opposite by promising the world and delivering thin recycled summaries instead each time you click on something interesting.

  29. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at modernonlinepurchase kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  30. Started reading expecting to disagree and ended mostly nodding along, and a look at nextlevelshoppingexperience continued the pattern, content that wins agreement through evidence and reasoning rather than rhetorical force is the kind that actually shifts minds and this site clearly knows how to do that across what I have read so far.

  31. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at securecommercialalliances 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.

  32. Reading this slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at customerfirstshoppinghub 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. This filled in a gap in my understanding that I had not even noticed was there, and a stop at longtermstrategicalliances did the same, the kind of post that gives you more than you expected when you first clicked through from somewhere else, a real find for anyone curious about the area covered here.

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

  35. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at sunweaveboutique confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  36. Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at businessrelationshipplatform 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.

  37. Worth marking this site as one to come back to deliberately rather than by accident, and a stop at learnandgrowdigitally reinforced that intention, the difference between sites I find again by chance and sites I return to on purpose is meaningful and this one has clearly moved into the deliberate return category for me.

  38. Thanks for laying this out in a way that someone newer to the topic can follow, and a stop at trustedcorporateconnections kept that accessibility going, writing that meets readers at different experience levels without condescending is hard to do well and the writers here have clearly thought about who they are writing for.

  39. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at buyinghubonline extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  40. Appreciate the practical examples, they made the abstract points easier to grasp, and a stop at smartconsumerbuyingzone added more of the same, this site clearly understands that real examples beat empty theory every single time which is the mark of a writer who knows their audience well and respects their time.

  41. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at discoverbetterpaths 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.

  42. Liked the balance between depth and brevity, never too shallow and never too long, and a stop at clicktoexploreinnovations kept the same balance going across the rest of the site, this is one of the harder skills in writing and the team here clearly has it figured out very well indeed across every page.

  43. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at smartpurchaseecosystem only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  44. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at clickforbusinesslearning reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.

  45. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at clicktolearnandgrow reinforced that human touch, you can tell when a site is being run by someone who reads what they publish versus someone just hitting submit and moving on quickly to the next assignment without checking the result.

  46. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at learnfromexpertinsights added more, this is one of those sites where the value compounds the more you read rather than peaking at one viral post and then offering nothing else of substance afterwards which is common.

  47. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at learnfuturefocusedskills kept the same patient pace, the difference between unhurried and slow is a fine editorial distinction and this site has clearly found the unhurried side without slipping into the slow side which would have lost me as a reader quickly otherwise.
