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






Really appreciate the absence of stock photos that have nothing to do with the content, and a quick visit to tapetoken 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.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at aroarch 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 gave me a small jolt of recognition for an experience I thought was just mine, and a stop at lanternorchardmerchantgallery 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.
Dolgo sem iskal pravo rešitev. Ko sem prvič slišal za zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem spoznal ljudi, ki jim je uspelo — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da mnogi ne vedo, kam se obrniti. Zato priporočam, da preverite celoten postopek na spletni strani, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: odvajanje od alkohola [url=https://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]odvajanje od alkohola[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at velvetbrooktradegallery 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.
Solid stuff, the kind of post that I will probably refer back to later this month when the topic comes up again, and a look at honeycovemerchantgallery only confirmed I should bookmark the site as a whole rather than just this single page for future reference and use across coming weeks.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at ivebump continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at huiyam extended that pleasure across more pages, the unexpected reward of stumbling into careful writing is one of the small ongoing pleasures of reading the open web and this site is delivering it reliably.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at tidalurchin held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at steamsaunter only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.
The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at dailycartdeals kept that calibration going, getting the depth right for blog format is genuinely difficult because too shallow loses experts and too deep loses beginners but this site nailed it nicely which I really do appreciate.
One of the more thoughtful posts I have read recently on this topic, and a stop at humgrain added even more weight to that impression, this is genuinely good content that holds its own against far better known sites in the same space without trying to imitate any of them at all which I appreciate.
Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at syxbolt continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.
Reading this site over the past week has changed how I evaluate content in this space, and a look at vocabtrifle extended that recalibration, the standards I bring to reading on the topic have shifted upward as a direct result of regular exposure to this kind of work and that shift will outlast any single reading session.
Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at elmwoodgoodsroom 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.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at silkgroveartisanexchange maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

Excellent post, balanced and well organised without showing off, and a stop at sealtoga continued in that same vein, this site has clearly figured out the formula for content that works for readers rather than for search engine ranking signals which is harder than it sounds today and worth real recognition from anyone.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at directshoppinghub reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
A modest masterpiece in its own quiet way, and a look at crownharborcommercegallery confirmed the same quiet quality across the rest of the site, calling something a masterpiece is usually overstating but for content this carefully crafted the word feels appropriate even if the writers themselves would probably resist the label honestly.
Reading this in pieces over a coffee break and finding it consistently rewarding, and a stop at oliveorchardartisanexchange 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.
Worth flagging that the writing rewarded a second read more than I expected, and a look at helioketo produced the same second read benefit, content with hidden depths that emerge only on careful rereading is rare in the modern blog space and this site has clearly invested in that level of compositional density throughout.
Took some notes for a project I am working on, and a stop at straitsurge added more raw material to those notes, content that contributes to my own creative work rather than just being interesting in the moment is the kind I value most and the kind I will keep coming back to repeatedly.
Now appreciating that the post did not require me to agree with the writer to find it valuable, and a look at clovercrestmerchantgallery maintained the same useful regardless of agreement quality, content that informs even when it does not convince is content with broader utility and this site reads as useful even when I disagree.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at quartzorchardartisanexchange extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Grateful for posts like this one, they remind me there are still places online run by people who care about quality, and a look at doxfix reflected the same standards, you can tell the difference between content made for readers and content made just for search engines today and this is the former.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at jasperharbormerchantgallery pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
Closed and reopened the tab three times before finally finishing, and a stop at daisycovevendorcorner held my attention straight through, sometimes content fights for time against my own distraction and the times it wins say something positive about its quality and this post clearly won that fight today afternoon for me.
Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at ixaqua pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.
Res je težko priznati si, da rabiš pomoč. Potem pa sem naletel na eno mesto in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o zdravljenju alkoholizma pri Dr Vorobjev centru. Veste, odvisnost od alkohola ni sramota. In kar je najpomembneje – program je prilagojen posamezniku. Več o tem in o izkušnjah pacientov si lahko preberete neposredno na uradnem viru: odvajanje od alkohola [url=https://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvajanje od alkohola[/url]. Meni so resnično pomagali.

Reading this in a moment of low energy still kept my attention, and a stop at linencovemerchantgallery 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.
Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at coastharborartisanexchange extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at itobout earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Closed the post with a small satisfied sigh, and a stop at swamptweed produced the same gentle exhale, content that ends well is content that respects the rhythm of reading and the writers here have clearly thought about how their pieces close rather than just trailing off when they run out of things to say.
Reading this prompted me to dig into a related topic later, and a stop at everydaycartstore provided some of the starting points for that follow up reading, content that triggers further exploration rather than satisfying curiosity completely is content with real generative energy and this site has plenty of that energy throughout it.
Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at corlex 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.
Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at humivy extended that care across more pages, the kind of attention to quality that shows up in every paragraph is what separates serious sites from the rest and this one has clearly invested in that paragraph level attention across what I have read.
Now adding the homepage to my regular check rotation rather than waiting for individual links to find me, and a stop at scopevoice 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.
Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil skeptičen. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — moje mnenje se je obrnilo. Vsak dan se veliko ljudi bori s to težavo. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato svetujem, da si vzamete čas in preberete posodobljene podatke, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]zdravljenje alkoholizma[/url].

Reading this slowly to absorb the structure, and the structure is doing real work alongside the words, and a look at honeycovevendorgallery 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.

A piece that read as if the writer was thinking carefully rather than just typing fluently, and a look at tracesinger 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.

Res je težko priznati si, da rabiš pomoč. Potem pa sem naletel na eno mesto in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – ni treba v bolnišnico.

Now noticing that the post never raised its voice even when making a strong point, and a look at jamcall 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.
A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at tritonstyle maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at coppercoveartisanexchange reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at jewelcovecommercegallery kept that going, the writing here trusts the reader to follow along without endless repetition or constant reminders of what was already said earlier in the post which I appreciate.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at dawnmeadowcommercegallery 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.
