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. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at clickforpracticalsolutions kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  2. Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at plavix did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

  3. Now thinking the topic is more interesting than I had given it credit for, and a stop at plavo continued that elevated interest, content that revives my curiosity about subjects I had set aside is doing genuine work in the structure of my interests and this site is providing that revivifying effect today actually.

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

  5. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at globaltrustrelationshipnetwork kept that same feel going which I really appreciated, the writer clearly knows the topic well enough to explain it without hiding behind big words or filler that often gets used to seem clever.

  6. Now planning to write about the topic myself eventually using this post as a reference, and a look at buildyourstrategicfuture would also serve in that future piece, content that becomes raw material for my own writing rather than just informing my reading is content with multiplicative value and this site is generating that multiplicative effect.

  7. Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to xavro kept the standard high, you can tell within seconds whether a site is going to waste your time or actually deliver and this one clearly delivers without any false starts.

  8. Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at xenrix prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.

  9. Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at strategictrustsolutions 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.

  10. The examples really helped me grasp the points faster than abstract descriptions would have, and a stop at modernpurchaseplatform added a few more practical illustrations that drove the message home, the kind of writing that knows its readers learn better through concrete situations rather than vague generalities is rare and worth recognising clearly.

  11. Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to learnsomethingmeaningful maintained the same restraint, visual filler is a tell that the writing cannot stand on its own and the lack of it here suggests the team has confidence in their content quality alone.

  12. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at amplebuff extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  13. Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at trustedpurchaseexperience kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.

  14. Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at smartpurchaseecosystem kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.

  15. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at buildyournextstrategy continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  16. Top tier post, the kind that makes you want to share the link with friends working in the same area, and a stop at clickforpracticalsolutions 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.

  17. Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at longtermbusinesspartnerships 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.

  18. Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at globalbusinessunity extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.

  19. Honestly the simplicity of the explanation made the topic click for me in a way other writeups had not, and a look at professionaltrustnetwork 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.

  20. Looking back on this reading session it stands as one of the better ones recently, and a look at everydayonlinepurchase extended that ranking, the informal ranking of reading sessions against each other is something I do mentally and this session ranks high largely because of this site and a couple of related pages here.

  21. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at qavrix kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  22. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at reliableonlinecommerce extended that intention, the urge to thank the writer directly is a strong signal of content quality and this site has triggered that urge in me today which is a fairly rare event for my reading.

  23. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at pexra kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  24. Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at valuebasedshoppingonline 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.

  25. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at krixa would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  27. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at zentrik kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  28. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to buildyournextstrategy maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  29. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at trivoxtrust produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  30. Going to share this with a friend who has been asking the same questions for a while now, and a stop at qorivogroup added a few more pages I will pass along too, this is the kind of generous information that earns a small thank you from me right now and again later this week.

  31. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at xalirobonded kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  32. Took a chance on the headline and was rewarded, and a stop at clickforbusinessinsights kept the rewards coming as I clicked through, the kind of place where every link leads somewhere worth the click is a small luxury on the modern web where so many sites are mostly empty calories disguised as content.

  33. Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at zexarobond 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.

  34. Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at urbanbuyingdestination reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.

  35. Skipped to a specific section because I knew that was the question I had, and the answer was clean, and a stop at longtermcorporateconnections similarly delivered targeted answers without burying them, content engineered for readers who arrive with specific needs rather than open ended browsing is increasingly valuable in a search heavy reading environment.

  36. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at everydayonlinebuystore extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  37. 1win официальный [url=https://1win68833.icu]1win официальный[/url]

  38. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at findsmarterbusinessmoves confirmed the archive worth the time, the rare archive worth a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the rare archive of serious work and this site has clearly produced enough of that work to warrant the deeper exploration.

  39. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at clicktofindbusinessclarity continued that confident posture, content written for its own sake rather than against imagined critics has a different quality and this site reads as written from a place of confidence rather than defensive justification of every claim.

  40. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at corporatetrustnetwork keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  41. Honest reaction is that I want to send this to a friend who would benefit from it, and a look at globaldealmarketplace added more material I will pass along too, the impulse to share is the strongest signal I have for content quality and this site is generating that impulse cleanly across multiple posts.

  42. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at ampleclove extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  43. Saving the link for sure, this one is a keeper, and a look at xavix confirmed I should bookmark the entire site rather than just this page, the consistency across what I have seen so far suggests there is a lot more here worth coming back for soon when I have more time.

  44. Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at trustedbusinessframework 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.

  45. Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at strategicgrowthpartnerships 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.

  46. Liked the natural conversational tone throughout, never stiff and never overly casual either, and a stop at travik kept that comfortable middle ground going, finding a tone that respects the reader without becoming distant or overly familiar is harder than it sounds and this site nails that balance consistently across many different pieces.
