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

Previous Post
Happy New Year 2026 from us
Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to blog44fly reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Thanks for putting in the work to make this approachable, plenty of sites cover the same ground but most do it badly, and a quick visit to blog33babys confirmed this one stands apart, simple language and useful examples without anyone trying to sell me anything along the way which I really appreciated.
Solid value for anyone willing to read carefully, and a look at veromint extends that value across the rest of the site, this is the kind of place that rewards return visits rather than offering everything in a single splashy post and then leaving readers nothing to come back for later which is unfortunately common.
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at appforest 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.
Adding this site to my regular reading list, the post earned that on its own, and a quick stop at runroute sealed the decision, the kind of place worth checking back with from time to time because it consistently produces material that holds up against a critical reading too which I really value.
Came away with a small but real shift in perspective on the topic, and a stop at veromint 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.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at posterpalace extended that wish across more subjects, the rarity of careful coverage on most topics is a problem and this site is one of the small antidotes to that broader pattern of casual or surface treatment of complex subjects.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at anchoratlas extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.
Reading this with a fresh mind in the morning brought out details I might have missed in the afternoon, and a stop at servosource earned the same fresh attention, content that rewards being read at full attention rather than at energy lows is content with real density and this site has that density consistently.
Well crafted post, the structure flows naturally from one point to the next without forcing transitions, and a stop at publishparlor 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.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at searchsmith 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.
Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at raynverve kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.
Picked this up between two other things I was doing and got drawn in completely, and after bundleboutique my original tasks were completely forgotten for a while, content that derails a workflow in a positive way by being more interesting than what you were already doing is rare and worth recognising clearly.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at webgrove 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.
Reading this slowly to give it the attention it deserved, and a stop at devorchard earned the same slow read, choosing to read slowly is a small act of respect for content quality and very few sites earn that respect from me but this one did so without any explicit ask which is the cleanest way.
Came across this and immediately thought of a friend who would enjoy it, and a stop at freightfriendly also reminded me of someone, content that triggers the urge to share is content that has earned my recommendation and this site has earned multiple from me already across different conversations during the week.
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at wirelessward 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.
Worth saying that this is one of the better things I have read on the topic in months, and a stop at sitemapstudio reinforced that ranking, the topic is well covered by many sources but few do it with this level of care and the few that do deserve to be flagged so other readers can find them.
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at saleandstyle 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.
Found a couple of useful angles in here I had not considered before reading carefully, and a quick stop at quoravia 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.
Honestly thank you to whoever wrote this because it scratched an itch I had not quite been able to articulate, and a stop at wellnessward kept that satisfying feeling going, the kind of writing that meets unspoken needs is special and this site clearly has writers who understand their readers more than most do today.
Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at wellnesswilds 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.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at fiberfountain suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at carryoncorner extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.

Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at crispcollective continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

Now feeling the rare pleasure of trusting a source completely on first encounter, and a look at animeavenue extended that initial trust into something more durable, the calibration of trust to evidence is something I do informally and this site has earned high trust through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good posts already.

Glad to find a site whose links lead somewhere worth going rather than back to itself for SEO juice, and a stop at zappyzone 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.

Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at laptoplifeline produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.

Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at chocolateroom 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.

Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at mirstoria expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.
Felt no urge to argue with the conclusions even though I started the post slightly skeptical, and a look at blog33probably maintained that pattern, writing that earns agreement through clarity of argument rather than rhetorical pressure is the kind I find most persuasive and the kind I want to read more of these days.
Now feeling confident enough in this site to use it as a reference point for evaluating others on the same topic, and a look at setupsummit continued the comparison friendly quality, sites that serve as quality benchmarks for their topic are precious and this one has clearly become a benchmark for me on this particular subject area.
Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at lockandloadshop kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.
Closed the tab and immediately reopened it ten minutes later because I wanted to reread a part, and a stop at layoutlagoon drew the same return, content that pulls you back after closing it is doing something well beyond the average and worth marking as exceptional in my mental catalogue of reliable sites.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at fiorvyn 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.
Came in tired from a long day and the writing held my attention anyway, and a stop at skynvanta kept that going, content that can engage a fatigued reader is doing something right because most online reading happens in suboptimal conditions like that one and quality content adapts to it without complaint.

Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at riverroutey suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Solid quality, the kind of work that holds up to a careful read rather than a quick skim, and a quick look at domaindahlia 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.
