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. Glad I gave this a chance rather than scrolling past, and a stop at keplora confirmed I made the right call, sometimes the best content is hidden behind unassuming headlines that do not scream for attention and learning to slow down and check those out has paid off many times now across years of reading.

  2. Honestly the simplicity is what makes this work, the topic is not buried under filler words or overly complex examples, and a quick look at modmosaic showed the same sensible style, I left with what I came for and no headache from over reading which is a real win these days.

  3. pinco условия вывода [url=http://pinco99974.shop/]http://pinco99974.shop/[/url]

  4. Reading this confirmed a small detail I had been uncertain about, and a stop at orchidmarket provided the source for further checking, content that supports verification through citations or links rather than just asserting facts is more trustworthy and this site has clearly built its credibility through that kind of verifiable approach consistently.

  5. Honestly this was a good read, no jargon and no padding, and a short look at wardivo 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. Reading this gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at nightroutine 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.

  7. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at clearaisle prompted another, the rare site that contributes useful nuggets to my own working knowledge rather than just consuming my attention is worth the time investment many times over compared to the usual pile of forgettable scroll content.

  8. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at orbitcrate produced the same considered closing, when reading ends with deliberate satisfaction rather than impatient skip you know the time was well spent and this site is producing those satisfying endings consistently across what I read.

  11. Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to rosevendorstudio only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.

  12. After several visits I am now confident this site is one to follow seriously, and a stop at shorerack reinforced that confidence, the gradual building of trust through repeated quality exposures is the only sustainable way to develop reader loyalty and this site is building that loyalty in me through patient consistent work consistently.

  13. Got pulled in by the headline and stayed because the content actually delivered on the promise, and a stop at budgetbreeze kept that trust intact, when a site lives up to its own framing it earns the right to keep showing up in my browser tabs going forward indefinitely from here on out really.

  14. Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at knifeandfork kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.

  15. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at autumncratecorner extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  16. Felt the post had been written without looking over its shoulder, and a look at vionvogue 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.

  17. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at acornaisle continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.

  18. Now feeling mildly impressed in a way I do not quite remember feeling about a blog in a while, and a stop at skyvendor extended that mild impression, content that produces specific positive emotional responses rather than just neutral information transfer is content with extra dimensions and this site has those extra dimensions clearly.

  19. Liked that the post resisted a sales pitch ending, and a stop at satinrack maintained the no pitch approach, content that ends without trying to convert me into a customer or subscriber is content that has confidence in its own value and this site is clearly playing the long game on reader trust.

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

  21. Started thinking about my own writing differently after reading, and a look at goodsquarry continued that reflective effect, content that influences how I work rather than just informing what I know is content with the highest kind of impact and this site has triggered some of that reflective influence today on me.

  22. Now recognising that the post handled the topic with appropriate technical precision without becoming dry, and a stop at junopick continued that balance, technical precision and readability are often in tension and this site has clearly figured out how to maintain both at once which is one of the harder editorial achievements in the form.

  23. A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at irevana maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.

  25. A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at curtaincraft continued that considered quality, the difference between fluent typing and careful thinking shows up in writing and this site reads as the product of thought rather than just the product of language fluency apparently.

  26. Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at corewebvitals maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.

  28. Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at silvervendorstudio confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.

  30. Beyond the immediate post itself the editorial sensibility behind the site is what struck me, and a stop at granitevendoroutlet continued displaying that sensibility, content that reveals editorial choices through accumulated reading is content with structural quality and this site has clearly developed an underlying approach worth identifying through multiple sessions of reading.

  31. melbet ставки [url=http://melbet62774.shop]http://melbet62774.shop[/url]

  32. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at paprikaplace did the same to me, content that provokes thought rather than just delivering information is in a different category and the team here is clearly working at that higher level rather than just cranking out posts.

  33. Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at chestnutmarket continued that calm volume, content that can make important points without resorting to typographic emphasis or emotional appeal is content that trusts its substance to do the work and this site has that confidence consistently.

  34. Reading this in a quiet hour and finding it suited the quiet, and a stop at ivoryvendoroutlet extended the quiet reading mood, content that matches its own optimal reading conditions rather than fighting them is content that has been thoughtfully calibrated and this site reads as having a particular reading mood in mind throughout.

  35. Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at seashopper extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  36. A clear case of writing that does not try to do too much in one post, and a look at wheatvendor maintained the same scoped discipline, posts that try to cover too much end up covering nothing well and this site has clearly chosen scope discipline as a core editorial principle which shows up clearly in what I read.

  37. Decided to write a short note to the author if there is contact info anywhere, and a stop at lunivora 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.

  38. This stands out compared to similar posts I have read recently, less noise and more substance, and a look at timbercratehouse kept that gap going, you can really feel the difference between content made by someone who cares versus content made to fill a publishing schedule for an algorithm trying to keep growing somehow.

  39. Телесериал в интернете сверхъестественное 10 в хорошем качестве можно прямо на сайте. Полная коллекция сезонов и эпизодов собраны на одной странице. Следите за приключениями Сэма и Дина Винчестеров, которые расследуют паранормальные события. В каждой серии герои сталкиваются с демонами, ангелами, духами и другими существами. Кастиэль помогает братьям, а новые противники угрожают героям. Выбирайте интересующий эпизод и погружайтесь в атмосферу мистического сериала.

  40. Любишь охоту? товары для охоты и отдыха поможет подобрать разнообразный выбор для охоты и отдыха на природе. В каталоге доступны охотничья экипировка, удобная одежда, охотничья обувь, оптические приборы, аксессуары и туристическое снаряжение. Выбирайте подходящие товары, ориентируйтесь на свои задачи и заказывайте необходимые товары. Большой ассортимент поможет быстро найти нужные товары.

  41. Came here from another site and ended up exploring much further than I planned, and a look at goldgrove2 only encouraged more exploration, the kind of place where one click leads to another not through manipulative design but through genuinely interesting content is rare and worth highlighting when found like this somewhere on the open internet.

  42. Found this useful, the points line up well with what I have been thinking about lately, and a stop at caldexo added some angles I had not considered yet, definitely walking away with more than I came for which is the best outcome from time spent reading online for any kind of topic.

  43. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at opalvendor 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.

  44. Solid little post, the kind that does not need to be flashy because the substance is doing the work, and a look at northmarket kept that quiet confidence going across the site, this is what writing looks like when the writer trusts the content to land on its own without theatrics or unnecessary attention seeking behaviour.

  45. Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at scarletrack reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.

  46. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at maplevault added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  47. Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to oakoriginshop 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.

  48. Compared to the usual results for this kind of search this site stands well above the average, and a quick visit to relvaa 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.

  49. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at hazelmarket maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.
