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. Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at naviroline extended that into related material I will return to later, the kind of site that fits naturally into small reading windows without requiring a long uninterrupted block is genuinely useful for how I actually browse.

  2. Will be passing this along to a few people who would benefit from the perspective shared here, and a stop at velon only added to what I will be sharing, this kind of generous content deserves to circulate widely rather than getting buried in some search engine algorithm tweak that pushes it down the rankings.

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

  4. Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked maverotrustline I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.

  5. The way the post stayed on topic throughout without going on tangents was really refreshing, and a look at zaviroplex kept that focused approach going, discipline like this in writing is rare and worth recognising because most writers cannot resist wandering off into related subjects that dilute their main point and confuse readers along the way.

  6. Easy to recommend, the content speaks for itself without needing additional praise from me, and a stop at vexaropartners only adds more reasons to send people this way, the kind of generous resource that benefits its readers without demanding anything in return is increasingly rare and worth recognising clearly today across the broader open internet.

  7. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at discoverprofessionalgrowth confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  8. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at jonathanfinngamino pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  9. A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at vixaroline maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.

  10. The lack of unnecessary jargon made the post accessible without sacrificing accuracy, and a look at xelariocore continued in the same accessible style, technical topics often hide behind specialised vocabulary but here the writer trusts the reader to keep up with plain language and that trust pays off nicely throughout the entire post.

  11. Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at nevirontrustco extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.

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

  13. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at AlmostFashionableMovie continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.

  14. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at pandemoniumtheshow 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.

  15. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at rasecurities continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  16. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at fullertonrecall kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  17. Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at vixarotrust reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.

  18. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at pelixobond was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  19. 1win проблема с входом ios [url=1win26956.icu]1win проблема с входом ios[/url]

  20. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at sunnyflowercases 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.

  21. Will be sharing this with a couple of people who care about the topic, and a stop at qorivobonding 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.

  22. Top quality material, deserves more attention than it probably gets, and a look at maverotrustco reflected the same effort across the site, a hidden gem in the modern web where most attention goes to whoever shouts loudest rather than whoever actually delivers the best content for their readers without much marketing fanfare.

  23. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after dankglassonline I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.

  24. 1win промокод на фриспины [url=https://www.1win26956.icu]https://www.1win26956.icu[/url]

  25. Without overstating it this is a quietly excellent post, and a look at morix extended that quiet excellence, content that earns superlatives without demanding them through marketing language is content that has truly earned them through the substance and this site has clearly produced work in that earned excellence category today.

  26. Solid information that lines up with what I have been hearing from other reliable sources, and after my visit to moeinclub I was even more certain of that, this site checks out which is something I value highly when so many places online play loose with the facts to chase a quick click.

  27. Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at pg-o2o pushed that shift a bit further, the kind of subtle reframing that good writing does to a reader without making a big deal of it is something I always appreciate when it happens which is sadly not that often.

  28. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at korivonext maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  29. Most of the time I feel the open web is in decline and then I find a site like this, and a stop at longtermvaluepartnership reinforced that mood lift, the cumulative effect of finding occasional excellent independent content versus the cumulative effect of finding mostly mediocre content is real for the long term reader maintaining web habits today.

  30. Genuinely glad I clicked through to read this rather than skipping past, and a stop at cavarotrust confirmed I should keep clicking through to more pages here, the kind of resource that justifies its place in my browser history rather than feeling like wasted time which is the highest compliment I offer any site online today.

  31. Took my time with this rather than rushing because the writing rewards attention, and after corecompanynyc I had even more to absorb, the kind of content that pays back the patient reader rather than punishing them with empty filler is something I look for and rarely find in regular searches lately.

  32. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at spikeisland2020 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.

  33. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at thirtymale suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.

  34. Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at zylavocore 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.

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

  36. Reading this in a quiet coffee shop matched the calm energy of the writing, and a stop at xanerotrust extended that environmental match, content that has its own ambient quality which can match or clash with surroundings is content with a personality and this site has the kind of personality that suits calm reading.

  37. A piece that respected the reader by not over explaining the obvious, and a look at ManilaTakeout continued that calibrated approach, finding the right level of explanation is one of the harder editorial calls and this site has clearly thought carefully about what readers will already know versus what they need help with consistently.

  38. 1win куда вводить промокод [url=https://www.1win26956.icu]1win куда вводить промокод[/url]

  39. Worth observing that the post landed without needing a flashy headline to hook attention, and a stop at xanerotrustco did the same, content that earns engagement through substance rather than packaging is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has clearly chosen substance as the primary lever for reader engagement throughout.

  40. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at ulvionbond extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.

  41. Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at ThirtyMale continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.

  42. Felt like the writer was speaking directly to someone with my level of curiosity, neither talking down nor showing off, and a stop at sega-live kept that comfortable matching going, finding writing that meets you where you are rather than asking you to climb up or stoop down feels great every time it happens.

  43. A piece that took its time without dragging, and a look at ravionline 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.

  44. Probably this is one of the better quiet successes on the open web at the moment, and a look at xelariotrustco reinforced that quiet success quality, sites that are doing well without making a noise about doing well are the sites I most respect and this one has clearly chosen the quiet success path consistently throughout.

  45. If I were to recommend a starting point for the topic this site would be near the top of my list, and a stop at longtermbusinesspartnerships reinforced that recommendation status, the small list of starting point recommendations I keep for friends asking about topics is short and this site is now firmly on it.

  46. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at zylavocapital added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.

  47. melbet сайт намешавад [url=https://melbet05582.online/]https://melbet05582.online/[/url]

  48. Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at cnsbiodesk earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.
