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. I really like the calm tone here, it does not push anything on the reader, and after I went through nextgenonlinebuying I felt the same way, just steady useful content laid out without drama, which is exactly what someone trying to learn something quickly needs to find rather than aggressive marketing.

  2. Appreciated how the post felt complete without overstaying its welcome, and a stop at modernretailbuyinghub confirmed that economical approach runs across the site, knowing when to stop is a skill many writers never develop but here the discipline is obvious and welcome from the perspective of a busy reader trying to learn things efficiently.

  3. Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at simpleecommercesolutions kept that generous outbound feel, citing other peoples work with real respect rather than just for ranking signals is a sign of an honest operation worth supporting going forward.

  4. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at trustedbusinessframework extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  5. Did not expect much when I clicked through but ended up reading the whole thing carefully, and a stop at businessrelationshipecosystem kept that engagement going, sometimes the unassuming sites turn out to deliver more than the flashy ones which is something I have learned to look out for over time online lately and across topics.

  6. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at clicktoadvanceknowledge continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  7. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at learnandadvanceonline 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.

  9. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at strategicbusinessalliances added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  10. Honest assessment is that this is one of the better short reads I have had this week, and a look at businesstrustinfrastructure reinforced that, the bar for short content is low because most of it sacrifices substance for brevity but this site manages both at once which is harder than it sounds for most writers attempting it.

  11. Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at exploreprofessionaldevelopment 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.

  12. Picked up on several small touches that suggest a careful editor, and a look at trustedcorporatebonding suggested the same hand at work across the broader site, editorial consistency at a granular level is one of the strongest signs that an operation is serious rather than just hobbyist and this site reads as serious throughout.

  13. Now placing this in the same category as a few other sites I have come to trust, and a look at reliablebusinessrelationships continued the placement decision, the small category of fully trusted sites is one I extend rarely and only after multiple positive reading sessions and this site has earned the category placement methodically over time.

  14. Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at clicktoexploreideas similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.

  15. Now noticing that the post did not mention the writer at all, focus stayed on the topic, and a look at valuefocusedshoppinghub 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.

  16. Granted my mood today might be elevating my reading experience but I still think this is genuinely good, and a stop at securebusinessrelationships reinforced that even discounted assessment, controlling for the mood adjustment that affects content perception this site still reads as substantively above average across multiple pieces I have read carefully today.

  17. A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at clickforbusinesslearning maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.

  18. Came back to this an hour later to reread a specific section, and a quick visit to reliableonlinebuys also drew a second look, content that pulls you back rather than letting you move on permanently is the kind I want to fill my browser bookmarks with in 2026 and beyond as the open internet evolves.

  19. A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at businessrelationshipecosystem maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.

  21. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at trustedenterpriseframework extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  22. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at trustedshoppingplatform kept the same flow going, you can tell when a writer has thought about how their content reads rather than just what it contains and this is one of those examples.

  23. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at securecommercialbonding kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  25. A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at explorebusinessopportunities extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.

  26. Thanks for sharing this with the open internet rather than locking it behind a paywall like so many sites do now, and a stop at amplebey kept the same vibe going, generous helpful and clearly written by someone who actually wants people to learn from it rather than just charge them.

  27. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at learnfrommarketleaders 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.

  28. Reading this prompted a small redirection in something I was working on, and a stop at globaldigitalshoppingmarket extended that redirecting influence, content that affects my actual work rather than just my thinking has the highest practical impact and this site is providing that level of influence for me at a sustainable rate apparently.

  29. Now setting this aside as a model of how to write thoughtfully on the topic, and a stop at buildsmartergrowthpaths extended that model status, content that becomes a reference for how a kind of writing should be done is content with influence beyond its own readership and this site is reaching that level for me clearly today.

  30. Found a small mental shift after reading this, the framing here is just a bit different from the standard takes online, and a look at premiumdigitalbuying extended that fresh perspective across more material, the rare site whose voice actually changes how you think about something rather than just confirming existing beliefs.

  31. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to securecommercialbonding kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

  32. A relief to read something where I did not have to fact check every claim mentally, and a look at businessrelationshipecosystem continued that reliable feeling, sites where I can lower my guard and trust the content are rare and this one is earning that trust paragraph by paragraph through consistent careful work behind the scenes.

  33. Walked away in a slightly better mood than when I started reading, that says something about the writing, and a stop at velixo kept that going, content that leaves you feeling more capable rather than overwhelmed is the kind I keep coming back to again and again over the years and across many topics.

  34. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at zulvix only made me more confident in doing that, this site is one of the better resources I have seen on the topic recently across both new and older posts.

  35. A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at enterpriseunityframework continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

  36. Probably the kind of site that should be more widely read than it appears to be, and a look at everydaypurchaseplatform 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.

  37. 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 securestrategicalliances I am sure this site treats its readers well, no flashy tricks just useful content done right which is honestly all I want online.

  38. Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at flexibledigitalshopping extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.

  39. A welcome reminder that thoughtful writing still happens online, and a look at modernonlinepurchase extended that reassurance, the modern web makes it easy to forget that careful writing exists and finding sites that practice it is a small antidote to the cynicism that builds up from too much exposure to algorithmic content.

  41. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to trustedenterpriseframework only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  42. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at longtermcommercialbonds similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  43. Skipped breakfast still reading this and finished hungry but satisfied, and a stop at enterprisegrowthpartnerships 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.

  44. Genuinely useful read, the points are practical and easy to apply right away, and a quick look at trustedmarketrelationship confirmed that this site is consistent in that approach, looking forward to digging through the rest of it when I get the chance to sit down properly later in the week or this weekend.

  45. If the topic interests you at all this is a place to spend time, and a look at reliablepurchasehub reinforced that recommendation, the broader question of where to invest topical reading time is one this site answers convincingly through the consistent quality across multiple pieces I have sampled during the current reading session today.

  46. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at trustedenterpriseconnections confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.
