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. During the time spent here I noticed the absence of the usual distractions, and a stop at glybrow extended that distraction free experience, content that does not fight my attention with pop ups and modals and aggressive prompts is content that respects me and this site has clearly chosen the respectful approach throughout.

  2. Блин народ, ситуация просто аховая. Братан уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Думали конец. Скорая не приезжает. Короче, только это и спасло — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Отошёл за полчаса. В общем, там контакты и прайс — вывод из запоя на дому круглосуточно [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Не тяните резину. Сохраните себе.

  3. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at rivercoveartisanexchange continued that organisational clarity, holding multiple threads in a single piece without losing any of them is a sign of skilled writing and this site has clearly developed the editorial discipline to manage complexity without sacrificing readability throughout.

  4. Слушайте, попал в такую передрягу. Родственник пьет без остановки. Нервов ни у кого нет. Участковый только руками разводит. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — срочный вывод из запоя круглосуточно. Поставили систему. В общем, вся информация вот здесь — вывод из запоя цены воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]вывод из запоя цены воронеж[/url] Не тяните. Скиньте кому надо.

  5. Anyone curious about this topic would do well to start here, the foundation laid is solid, and a stop at reliableshoppingzone would round out their understanding nicely, this is the kind of resource I would point a friend toward without hesitation if they asked me where to begin learning about anything in this area.

  6. A clear cut above the usual noise on the subject, and a look at unicorntiger only made that gap wider in my view, the kind of place that earns its visitors through quality rather than through aggressive marketing or sponsored placements which is increasingly the only way most sites stay afloat across the modern web.

  7. If a friend asked me where to read carefully on the topic I would send them here without hesitation, and a look at elfinebony confirmed the recommendation strength, the directness of my recommendation reflects how confident I am in the quality and this site has earned undiluted recommendations from me across multiple recent conversations actually.

  8. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after reliablecartcorner I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.

  9. If I had encountered this site five years ago I would have been telling everyone about it, and a look at oakcovemerchantgallery extended that retrospective enthusiasm, the version of me who used to recommend favourite blogs frequently would have made sure friends knew about this one and that earlier enthusiasm is partially returning to me here.

  10. The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at glassharbormerchantgallery kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.

  11. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at tennisvortex extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  12. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at eagleelder produced the same time dilation effect, when content makes time feel different the writer has achieved something well beyond the average and this site is producing that experience for me reliably across multiple readings.

  13. Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at savorvantage extended that wish into a broader hope, sites built on substance and care rather than on metrics and growth are the kind of sites I want to see more of and this one is a small example worth supporting.

    Research advances through the collective efforts by dedicated researchers who commit their lives toward unraveling the most intricate mechanisms behind cancer. Rarely any publications have succeeded to bring so many exceptional contributors beneath one umbrella quite like [url=https://www.resurchify.com/impact/details/19900191708]top-ranked cancer medicine publication[/url], which over the years has grown into an authentic intellectual home of landmark cancer research.

    The scientific approach behind [url=https://www.pinterest.com/oncotarget/]Oncotarget pathology research journal[/url] has consistently been grounded in the understanding the idea that science ought to be accessible — open to everyone, no matter geographic barriers. This unrestricted model has allowed discoveries featured in its issues to get to a much broader audience than traditional journals, speeding up the speed in scientific progress.

    Central to the publication’s reputation is the work by [url=https://www.oncotarget.org/tag/dr-mikhail-blagosklonny/]Researcher Mikhail Blagosklonny[/url], one of the most influential figures across twenty-first century tumor biology and gerontological science. His theory on quasi-programmed aging — grounded in extensive experimental research involving rapalogs — stands as one of highly discussed as well as transformative theories in contemporary longevity research and tumor science.

    Contributing beside these contributions remains [url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/037811199400784P]Zoya Demidenko biochemistry[/url], a scientist the studies regarding the molecular control of cellular division as well as programmed death mechanisms has produced findings that are practically applicable for the development of innovative anti-cancer therapies. Her articles, a significant number of which appeared across [url=https://www.bioxbio.com/journal/ONCOTARGET]Oncotarget peer-reviewed publications[/url], have been extensively cited within the worldwide academic community.

    Ultimately, what sets apart [url=https://www.linkedin.com/company/oncotarget]Oncotarget academic contribution[/url] is not simply the sum of its scientific studies — it remains the ambition of a network comprising scholars that believe the fact that understanding malignancy is among the most urgent intellectual challenges in this era.

  15. Thanks for treating the topic with the seriousness it deserves without becoming pompous about it, and a stop at pearlcoveartisanexchange 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.

  16. Definitely returning here, that is decided, and a look at neoncartcenter only made the case stronger, this is one of those rare websites that rewards regular visits rather than feeling stale after the first read which is something I cannot say about most of the places I bookmark today across all my topics.

  17. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at vandaltavern 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.

  18. Good quality through and through, no rough edges and no signs of being rushed, and a quick look at skyharbormerchantgallery kept the same polish going, the kind of site that respects its own brand by maintaining consistency across pages which is something I always appreciate as a reader looking for trustworthy information online today.

  19. Народ привет. Жесть полная случилась. Отец не вылезает из запоя. Дети не спят по ночам. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — лучшая наркологическая клиника с выездом. Поставили систему. В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — выведение из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru]выведение из запоя на дому[/url] Не тяните. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  20. Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at jevmox 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.

  21. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at elderbeetle continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  22. Reading this between two meetings turned out to be the highlight of the morning, and a stop at hislex continued that highlight quality, content that outshines the structured parts of a working day is doing something well beyond ordinary and this site has produced multiple such highlights for me already this week alone.

  23. Quality writing that respects the reader’s intelligence without overloading them, and a quick look at apricotharborcommercegallery reflected that approach, a balanced thoughtful site that earns trust by being consistent rather than by shouting about how trustworthy it is which is the usual approach online sadly across most content categories.

  24. Well done, the writing is professional without being stiff, and the topic is treated with care, and a look at ileqix reflected that approach, the kind of site I would point a colleague to if they asked for a reliable starting point on this topic in the future without any hesitation at all.

  25. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at coastharborcommercegallery sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  26. Всем привет, ситуация просто аховая. Отец не вылезает из бутылки. Руки опустились. В бесплатную тащить страшно — поставят на учёт. Короче, врачи реально вытащили — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Через час были. В общем, сохраняйте — снять запой на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Не ждите. Перешлите другу.

  27. Glad I clicked through from where I did because this turned out to be worth the time spent, and after tracestudio I had a fuller picture, the kind of content that earns its visitors through delivering value rather than chasing them through aggressive advertising or constant pop ups appearing everywhere on the screen lately.

  28. Že dolgo nisem vedel, kako naprej. Potem pa sem naletel na eno mesto in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o ambulantnem zdravljenju alkoholizma pri Dr Vorobjev centru. Veste, alkoholizem je bolezen, ne slabost. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Sam sem preveril celoten postopek in vse uradne informacije so na voljo na tej povezavi: odvisnost od alkohol [url=http://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url]. Meni so resnično pomagali.

    Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi potrebuje pomoč – ne odlašajte. Držim pesti!

  29. Easily one of the better explanations I have read on the topic, and a stop at rosecoveartisanexchange pushed it even higher in my mental ranking of useful resources, the kind of site that beats the average not by trying harder but by simply caring more about what it puts out daily which always shows.

  30. Just dropping by to say thanks for the effort, it does not go unnoticed when a writer cares this much about the reader, and after I went through ibeburn I was certain this is one of the better corners of the internet for this particular kind of content which is genuinely refreshing.

  31. Res je težko priznati si, da rabiš pomoč. Potem pa sem dobil pravi nasvet in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o zdravljenju alkoholizma pri Dr Vorobjev centru. Veste, alkoholizem je bolezen, ne slabost. In kar je najpomembneje – program je prilagojen posamezniku. Sam sem preveril celoten postopek in vse uradne informacije so na voljo na tej povezavi: Dr Vorobjev center [url=zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]zdravljenjealkoholizma.com[/url]. Meni so resnično pomagali.

    Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi ne ve, kam se obrniti – resnično priporočam. Vse se da, če hočeš.

  32. Thanks for the clean writing, no broken sentences and no awkward translations like some other sites have, and a quick stop at junipercovecraftcollective kept that polish going nicely, it really does make a difference when a reader can move through a page without tripping on every line or going back to reread.

  33. Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after jibtix I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.

  34. Zdravo, ljudje. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za zdravljenje alkoholizma — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je pokazal en center, kjer ne obetajo nemogočega. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: odvisnost od alkohol [url=https://alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url] Po nekaj tednih sem začutil razliko. Odvisnost od alkohola je bolezen, ne sramota. Ampak ko vidiš, da nisi sam — upanje se vrne. Vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki se spopadajo s to težavo. Ne obupajte!

  35. Reading this in the gap between work projects was a small but meaningful break, and a stop at shopdeckmarket 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.

  36. Ребята, представляете кошмар — близкий совсем не выходит из штопора. Жена в слезах. Участковый разводит руками. У меня брат так чуть не загнулся. Короче, только это и работает — адекватный вывод из запоя цены нормальные. Откачали и спать уложили. В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — вывод из запоя недорого [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru]вывод из запоя недорого[/url] Промедление реально убивает. Деньги потом не нужны будут. Перешлите тому кто в беде.

  37. Felt the post had been quietly polished rather than aggressively styled, and a look at abobrim 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.

  38. Reading this confirmed something I had been suspecting about the topic, and a look at fawndahlia pushed that confirmation toward greater confidence, content that lines up with independently held intuitions earns a special kind of trust and I will return to writers who consistently land that way for me without overselling positions.

  39. 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 imajo izkušnje. Govorim o zdravljenju po metodi dr. Vorobjeva. Preverite sami na povezavi: alkoholizem [url=https://www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem[/url] Najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. Odvisnost od alkohola je bolezen, ne sramota. Ampak ko dobiš strokovno podporo — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Ne obupajte!

  40. Zdravo, ljudje. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — to je res težka zadeva. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: Dr Vorobjev [url=alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com[/url] Najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — upanje se vrne. Vsekakor priporočam vsem, ki se spopadajo s to težavo. Ne obupajte!

  41. Dolga leta sem se boril sam. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je začelo obračati na bolje. Govorim o zdravljenju alkoholizma pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, odvisnost od alkohola ni sramota. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Več o tem in o izkušnjah pacientov si lahko preberete neposredno na uradnem viru: odvajanje od alkohola [url=https://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvajanje od alkohola[/url]. Po prvem tednu sem začutil razliko.

    Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi se sooča s to težavo – najboljša odločitev je poklicati. Držim pesti!

  42. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at aviaryelder confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

  43. Pozdravljeni. Dolgo časa nisem vedel, kam naprej. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — to je res težka zadeva. Prijatelj mi je pokazal en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o zdravljenju po metodi dr. Vorobjeva. Več informacij je na voljo tu: zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]zdravljenje alkoholizma[/url] Najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. Ni lahko priznati si, da imaš težavo. Ampak ko enkrat najdeš pravo pomoč — upanje se vrne. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Srečno na tej poti!

  44. The depth of coverage felt about right for the format, neither shallow nor overwhelming, and a look at brightharborcommercegallery 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.

  45. Слушайте сюда. Столкнулся с настоящей бедой. Близкий человек уже третьи сутки в штопоре. Соседи уже стучат. Скорая не приезжает на такие вызовы. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему. В общем, сохраняйте на будущее — срочный вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-ayu.ru]срочный вывод из запоя[/url] Каждая минута дорога. Скиньте другу в беде.

  46. Zdravo, ljudje. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za zdravljenje alkoholizma — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer imajo izkušnje.

  47. Res je težko priznati si, da rabiš pomoč. Potem pa sem dobil pravi nasvet in vse se je spremenilo. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri strokovnjakih, ki res znajo pomagati. Veste, odvisnost od alkohola ni sramota. In kar je najpomembneje – ni treba v bolnišnico. Vse informacije in izkušnje drugih sem podrobno pregledal na spletni strani, posodobljene podatke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj: odvisnost od alkohol [url=www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url]. Meni so resnično pomagali.

    Če kogarkoli, ki ga imate radi potrebuje pomoč – najboljša odločitev je poklicati. Vse se da, če hočeš.

  48. Great work on keeping things readable, the post never drags or repeats itself which I really appreciate, and a stop at siskatriton 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.
