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






Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at briskparcel extended that gentle reset, content that provides genuine refreshment rather than just distraction during work breaks is content with a particular kind of utility and this site fits that role for me reliably during work days.
Different feel from the algorithmically optimised posts that dominate the topic, and a stop at taxtrellis 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.
Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at tubecraze maintained the same architectural quality, when sentence shapes and paragraph rhythms reinforce the meaning rather than just transporting words you know you are reading skilled work today.
Now adding this to a short list of sites I would defend in a conversation about the modern web, and a look at spiceandsear 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.
Held my interest from the opening line through to the closing thought, and a stop at snowvendor did the same, content that earns sustained attention in an environment full of distractions is doing something right and this site is clearly doing several things right rather than just one or two which I really appreciate.
Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at loftlark 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.
More original than the recycled takes I keep finding on the topic elsewhere, and a quick look at marblemarket confirmed it, the kind of site that has its own voice rather than echoing whatever is trending which makes it stand out as a refreshing change from the usual rotation of generic content I see daily.
Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over quvera the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
Отдельная услуга: подбор материалов для ремонта — цена во что обходится по реальным сметам и в каком диапазоне держатся расценки.
Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at auravendor kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.
Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at anchoratlas confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.
Easy to recommend without reservations, the site delivers on every promise it implicitly makes, and a look at benchboutique kept that same standard going, the kind of consistency that earns trust over time rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing is what I see here and it is appreciated greatly by this particular reader today.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at trackingterminal reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at pebblecratemart produced more such jolts, content that universalises private experiences without flattening them is doing genuinely useful work and this site is providing that recognition function for me reliably across topics I read.
Well done, the kind of post that makes you slow down and actually read instead of skimming for keywords, and a look at lavendercrate kept me reading carefully too, that is a sign of writing that has been crafted rather than churned out for an algorithm to see today and tomorrow.
If I were grading sites on this topic this one would receive high marks, and a stop at stocklily continued earning those high marks, the informal grading I do mentally for content sources is something I take seriously even though it is informal and this site has been receiving consistent high marks across multiple sessions today.
Quietly impressive in a way that does not announce itself, and a stop at woodlandvault extended that quiet impressiveness, the kind of quality that emerges through sustained attention rather than first impressions is the kind I trust more deeply and this site has been earning that deeper trust across multiple sessions over time consistently.
Now wishing more sites covered topics with this level of care, and a look at cometcrate 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.

Now realising the post has been quietly doing important work in my mind for the past hour, and a stop at sunvendor extended that quiet processing, content that continues to do work after I close the tab is content with afterlife in the mind and this site is producing those long lived effects at a meaningful rate.
A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at flintvendorhouse extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.
During a reading session that included several other sources this one stood out, and a look at shorelinesupply continued the standout quality, the side by side comparison of sources during research is a useful exercise and this site has been winning those comparisons for me consistently across multiple research sessions during the last week.
Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at woodmarket 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.
Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at saleandstyle kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.
Reading this brought back an idea I had set aside months ago, and a stop at marblevendor added more substance to that idea, content that revives dormant projects in my own thinking is content with serious creative value and this site is contributing to my own work in ways I had not expected when first clicking through.
Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at mythicmint only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.
Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at valleyvendor maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.
A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at moonvendorcorner 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 slowly in the morning before opening email, and a stop at awardatelier 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.
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at mossvendorhouse confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at zenvorax kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.
Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at dyeandwash expanded what I will be sharing with them, this is the kind of resource that makes a real difference when you are trying to point a friend to something useful and reliable rather than generic marketing pages.
Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at dollyn continued that consistent quality, sites that maintain quality across many pieces rather than peaking on one viral post are sites with real editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that discipline carefully.
Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at prenvia extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.
Decent post that improved my afternoon a small amount, and a look at morningmoment added a bit more to that, sometimes the small wins online add up over time and a useful site like this one is the kind of place that contributes consistently to those small wins for me lately across many different topics I follow.
A quiet kind of confidence runs through the writing, and a look at xyloshop carried that same understated assurance, confidence without bragging is the most attractive register for online writing and the writers here have clearly developed it through practice rather than affecting it through stylistic tricks that would feel hollow eventually.
Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at whimvendor 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.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at patchparlor continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

Picked this post to share in a Slack channel where I knew it would be appreciated, and a look at dailuno suggested I will share more from here later, content worth sharing into a professional context is content that has earned a higher kind of trust than mere personal interest and this site has it.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at laptoplifeline the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at jadecrate extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.
Started believing the writer knew the topic deeply by about the second paragraph, and a look at oceancrate reinforced that confidence, the speed at which a writer establishes credibility through their writing is a useful quality signal and this writer establishes it quickly and quietly without resorting to credential dropping or self promotion.
Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at wheatwarehouse confirmed the same understated polish, sites whose quality reveals itself slowly rather than announcing itself loudly are the kind I trust more deeply because the trust is not based on first impressions of marketing but actual substance.
A piece that read as the work of someone who reads carefully themselves, and a look at springvendor 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.
Honestly informative, the writer covers the ground without showing off, and a look at uplandvendor reflected the same humility, content that respects the reader rather than trying to dazzle them is something I always appreciate and rarely come across in this corner of the internet today across the topics I usually read.
Worth recognising the specific care that went into how this post ended, and a look at farniq maintained the same careful conclusions, endings are where most blog content falls apart and this site has clearly invested in the closing stretches of its pieces rather than letting them simply trail off when energy fades.
Skipped the TLDR thinking I would read everything anyway, and ended up enjoying the path through the full post, and a stop at glenvox similarly rewarded the patient read, summaries are useful but the journey through good writing is part of what makes the destination feel earned rather than just delivered cleanly.
Reading this felt easy in the best way, no friction and no confusion at any point, and a stop at tillora carried that same comfort across more pages, the kind of editorial flow that lets you absorb information without fighting the format which is increasingly hard to find on the open web today across topics.
Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at cardcraftshop confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.
