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. Zdravo, ljudje. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma — ni šala. Prijatelj mi je svetoval en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Preverite sami na povezavi: Dr Vorobjev [url=http://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]http://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Meni so res pomagali. Odvisnost od alkohola je bolezen, ne sramota. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — upanje se vrne. Če kdo dvomi, naj kar pokliče in vpraša. Srečno na tej poti!

  3. High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at stashsuperb kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.

  4. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at sharesignal earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  5. Saving this link for the next time someone asks me about this topic, and a look at digitaltrendstation 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.

  6. Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at trophysofa only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.

  7. Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at glassmeadowcommercegallery earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.

  8. Started reading skeptically because the headline seemed overconfident, and the post earned the headline by the end, and a look at lanternmeadowcommercegallery continued that pattern of earning its claims, sites that can back up their headlines without overpromising are rare and this one has clearly developed editorial calibration on that front consistently.

  9. The pacing of the post was just right, never rushed and never dragged out unnecessarily, and a look at cloverharborcommercegallery maintained the same rhythm, you can tell the writer has experience because the difficult skill of pacing is something only practiced writers manage to handle well in long form content over time and across formats.

  10. Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at huejuly added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.

  11. Recommended without hesitation if you care about careful coverage of this topic, and a stop at opalrivergoodsgallery reinforced the recommendation, the bar I set for unhesitating recommendations is fairly high and this site has cleared it through the cumulative weight of multiple consistently good pieces rather than through any single standout post which is meaningful.

  12. A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at dahbrood maintained that careful relationship, structural details like that show up to readers who notice them and the writers here have clearly thought about every level of the piece rather than just the words.

  13. Слушайте кто подъемники ищет Обещают сертификаты а по факту Китай То кран-балки с зазорами Короче, реальный завод в Москве — оборудование для подъема грузов до 50 тонн Установка и пусконаладка В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — таль грузоподъемная [url=https://tal-elektricheskaya.ru]таль грузоподъемная[/url] Проверяйте производителя по документам Перешлите тому кто ищет оборудование

  14. Слушайте кто ищет выход Домашка на весь вечер А эти поборы на подарки учителям Короче, нашли идеальное решение — онлайн школы для детей с 1 по 11 класс Уроки тогда когда удобно В общем, сохраняйте себе — школа онлайн с аттестатом [url=https://shkola-onlajn-lzn.ru]школа онлайн с аттестатом[/url] Хватит мучить себя и ребёнка Перешлите другим родителям

  15. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at uppersharp added a bit more context that fit naturally with what was already said here, no need to read everything twice to get the point being made today.

  17. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil poln dvomov. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — vse se je spremenilo. Vsak dan se veliko ljudi bori s to težavo. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato vam želim pokazati vse tehnične podrobnosti in uradne informacije, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Meni je ta pristop pomagal. Če vas to zanima — to je lahko prelomnica v vašem življenju. Upam, da vam bo koristilo!

  18. Народ у кого дети в школе Задолбали эти сборы в 7 утра Никакого интереса к учёбе Короче, реально удобный формат — школы дистанционного обучения без стресса и нервов Никаких звонков и перемен В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — интернет школы [url=https://shkola-onlajn-pqs.ru]https://shkola-onlajn-pqs.ru[/url] Хватит мучить себя и ребёнка Перешлите другим родителям

  19. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at opalrivercraftcollective similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  20. A welcome contrast to the loud takes that have dominated my feed lately, and a look at silvercovecraftcollective extended that calm voice, content that arrives without yelling has become unusual in the modern attention economy and this site is one of the few places I have found that consistently delivers without raising its voice.

  21. Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at sorreltavern kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.

  22. Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at kettleharborcommercegallery earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.

  23. Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at pearlharborvendorparlor 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.

  24. Liked that there was nothing performative about the writing, and a stop at isebrook continued that genuine quality, performative writing tries to be witnessed rather than read and the difference between performance and substance is huge for the careful reader and this site has clearly chosen substance every time clearly.

  25. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at jewbush continued that balanced treatment, the gap between earnest and self serious is huge and writers who can stay on the right side of it earn my respect when I find them online today.

  26. Reading more of the archives is now on my plan for the weekend, and a stop at slackvista 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.

  27. Zdravo, ljudje. Dolgo časa nisem vedel, kam naprej. Ko gre za zdravljenje alkoholizma — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je pokazal en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Več informacij je na voljo tu: Dr Vorobjev [url=https://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]https://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Ni lahko priznati si, da imaš težavo. Ampak ko dobiš strokovno podporo — vse postane lažje. Če kdo dvomi, naj kar pokliče in vpraša. Srečno na tej poti!

  28. Reading the writers other posts after this one suggests the quality is consistent rather than peak, and a stop at huijax confirmed the consistent quality reading, sites that hold the same level across many pieces rather than peaking on a few are sites with sustainable editorial discipline and this one has clearly developed that.

  29. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at dailyneedsstore kept me in that careful reading mode, the kind of writing that demands attention by being worth attention is rare in a media environment full of content engineered to be skimmed not read with any real focus today.

  30. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at kudosember the points came together nicely for me, the writing keeps things straightforward and respects the reader from start to finish without ever talking down to anyone.

  31. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at futurecartcorner 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.

  32. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at velourudon extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  33. Reading this gave me a small refresher on something I had partially forgotten, and a stop at buytrailshop extended the refresher, content that strengthens existing knowledge rather than just adding new is content with a particular kind of consolidating value and this site is providing that consolidating function across multiple visits.

  34. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at hazelharbormerchantgallery reinforced that commitment, deciding to add a site to a regular rotation requires meeting a quality bar that very few places clear and this one cleared it cleanly without any noticeable effort or marketing push behind it.

  35. Reading carefully this time rather than scanning, and the depth shows up in places I missed first time around, and a look at salutesyrup rewarded the same careful approach, content that holds up to multiple reads is content I want more of in my regular rotation rather than disposable scroll fodder daily.

  36. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at heliojuly extended that lingering effect, content that survives the immediate moment of reading rather than evaporating is content with genuine retention quality and this site has been producing memorable pieces at a rate notable across my reading.

  37. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at wildharborcommercegallery 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.

  38. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at hullgale extended that supportive attention across more pages, the conscious choice to spend time on sites that produce careful work rather than convenient consumption is itself a small form of patronage and this site is receiving that conscious patronage from me.

  39. Appreciated how the writer anticipated the questions a reader might have along the way, and a stop at jalborn continued that thoughtful approach, you can tell when content has been edited with the reader in mind versus just published as a first draft and this is clearly the former approach across what I read.

  40. A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at lavenderharbormerchantgallery 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.

  41. Владельцы участков отзовитесь Объездил кучу контор — везде одно и то же То столбы гнутые Короче, нашел нормальных ребят — заказать забор под ключ из профнастила Гарантия на все работы В общем, сохраняйте себе — забор из евроштакетника [url=https://zagorodnii-dom.ru]забор из евроштакетника[/url] Не ведитесь на дешёвые предложения Перешлите тому у кого участок

  42. Мамы и папы всем привет А домашние задания на 5 часов в день Ребёнок не высыпается Короче, нашли крутую альтернативу — школа онлайн с официальным аттестатом Никаких звонков и перемен В общем, там программа и условия — lbs что это [url=https://shkola-onlajn-pqs.ru]lbs что это[/url] Хватит мучить себя и ребёнка Перешлите другим родителям

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

  44. A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at seacovecraftcollective continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.

  45. The use of plain language without dumbing down the topic was really well done, and a look at deoblob continued in that same accessible style, this is something many technical writers fail at because they either confuse their readers or condescend to them but here neither problem appears at all which is impressive really.

  46. Without comparing too aggressively to other sources this one stands out for the right reasons, and a look at rainharbormarketgallery continued that distinctive quality, content that distinguishes itself through substance rather than style tricks is content with lasting differentiation and this site has clearly chosen substance based differentiation as its core editorial strategy.

  47. Took longer than expected to finish because I kept stopping to think, and a stop at spectrasolo 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.

  48. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to florabrookvendorfoundry confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  49. Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at coralharborvendorloft confirmed the rotation upgrade, the move from passive discovery to active checking is a vote of confidence in a sites ongoing quality and this site has earned that active engagement clearly.

  50. A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at villageswan reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.
