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. Bookmark folder created specifically for this site, and a look at orchardharbormerchantgallery confirmed the dedicated folder was the right call, dedicated folders for individual sites are a level of organisation I rarely deploy and this site has earned that level of dedicated tracking based on the consistency I have seen so far across sessions.

  2. Pozdravljeni. Preizkusil sem že vse mogoče. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer res vedo, kaj delajo. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Več informacij je na voljo tu: alkoholizem [url=http://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. Vsak nov dan je priložnost.

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

  4. Dolga leta sem se boril sam. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri Dr Vorobjevu. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – program je prilagojen posamezniku. Več o tem in o izkušnjah pacientov si lahko preberete neposredno na uradnem viru: odvisnost od alkohol [url=http://www.zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url]. Zdaj sem že pol leta trezen in ponosen nase.

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

  5. Pozdravljeni. Že dolgo sem iskal resnično rešitev. Ko gre za odvajanje od alkohola — veliko ljudi se muči v tišini. Prijatelj mi je priporočil en center, kjer imajo izkušnje. Govorim o Dr Vorobjev centru. Vse podrobnosti in izkušnje drugih ljudi najdete tukaj: odvisnost od alkohol [url=http://www.alkoholizem-zdravljenje.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url] Meni so res pomagali. Prvi korak je vedno najtežji. Ampak ko dobiš strokovno podporo — vse postane lažje. Več kot vredno je poskusiti. Vsak nov dan je priložnost.

  6. Ребята, бывает же такое горе. Родственник пьет без остановки. Нервов ни у кого нет. Скорая не едет. Короче, только это и работает — качественная наркологическая клиника на выезде. Поставили систему. В общем, там и контакты и прайс — цены на вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]цены на вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.

  7. Dolga leta sem se boril sam. Potem pa sem izvedel za center in vse se je postavilo na svoje mesto. Govorim o odvajanju od alkohola pri Dr Vorobjev centru. Veste, ni lahko, ampak se da premagati. In kar je najpomembneje – lahko ostanete doma. Vse informacije in izkušnje drugih sem podrobno pregledal na spletni strani, posodobljene podatke pa si lahko ogledate tukaj: Dr Vorobjev center [url=http://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com]http://zdravljenjealkoholizma.com[/url]. Po prvem tednu sem začutil razliko.

    Če nekdo v vaši okolici se sooča s to težavo – najboljša odločitev je poklicati. Držim pesti!

  8. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at goldencovemerchantgallery earned the same patient approach, content that rewards slow reading rather than speed is content with real density and the writers here are clearly producing work that benefits from the careful eye rather than the rushed scan.

  9. Народ выручайте. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Муж просто исчезает в бутылке. Соседи стучат в дверь. Платные клиники ломят космос. Короче, только это и вытащило — качественное выведение из запоя капельницей. Откачали за час. В общем, сохраняйте себе — снятие запоя цена [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-fds.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-fds.ru[/url] Каждый час на счету. Скиньте кому надо.

  10. Decided after reading this that I would check this site weekly going forward, and a stop at hobcar 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.

  11. Different in a good way from the cookie cutter content that fills most blogs covering this area, and a stop at premiumpickmarket kept showing me why, original thoughtful writing exists if you know where to look and this site has earned a place on my short list of those rare exceptions worth defending.

  12. Closed my email tab so I could read this without interruption, and a stop at auroraharborcommercegallery earned the same protected attention, when content is good enough to defend against the usual digital distractions you know it deserves better than the half attention most online reading gets in a typical busy day.

  13. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at pebblepinecraftcollective added a few more I will be testing alongside, content with practical hooks that connect to my actual life is the kind that earns my repeat attention rather than the merely interesting that I forget within a day.

  14. Ребята, попал в такую передрягу. Родственник пьет без остановки. Нервов ни у кого нет. В больницу тащить страшно. Короче, врачи толковые попались — профессиональный вывод из запоя на дому. Приехали. В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — снятие запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-zqw.ru]снятие запоя на дому[/url] Промедление смерти подобно. Сохраните себе.

  15. Worth a quiet moment of recognition for the consistency I have noticed across multiple posts, and a stop at topazstrict 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.

  16. A small editorial detail caught my attention, the way headings related to body text, and a look at jifarena 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.

  17. However many similar pages I have read this one taught me something new, and a stop at topaztower added more new material, content that contributes genuinely fresh information rather than recycling what is already widely available is content with real informational value and this site is providing that informational freshness at a notable rate.

  18. Well structured and easy to read, that combination is rarer than people think, and a stop at stoneharborcommercegallery confirmed the same standard runs across the rest of the site, definitely the kind of place I will be coming back to when this topic comes up in conversation later again over the weeks ahead.

  19. Народ привет. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Брат пьёт без остановки. Дети не спят ночами. Платные клиники ломят бешеные деньги. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — срочный вывод из запоя круглосуточно. Откачали за час. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя с выездом [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-eio.ru[/url] Каждый час на счету. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  20. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at shopaxismarket 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.

  21. Honestly enjoyed every minute spent here, that is not something I say lightly, and a look at daisycovemerchantgallery confirmed I will be back, the bar for spending time online is high for me these days but this site clears it without effort which is high praise indeed from this reader who is usually rather demanding.

  22. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at urchinsail 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.

  23. Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at rosecovecraftcollective extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.

  24. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at sofatavern kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  25. Now adjusting my mental model of how the topic fits into the broader landscape, and a look at jadburst extended that adjustment, content that affects my structural understanding rather than just my factual knowledge is content with deeper impact and this site is providing those structural updates at a meaningful rate consistently across topics.

  26. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at kettlecrestartisanexchange continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  27. Honestly slowed down to read this carefully which is not my default, and a look at flintimpala 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.

  28. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at shopfieldmarket continued that invisible polish, the best editing disappears into the prose and this site reads as having been edited with skill that does not announce itself which is the highest compliment I can offer any blog content.

  29. Worth marking the moment when reading this clicked into something useful for my own work, and a look at falconcameo extended that practical click, content that connects to my actual life rather than just being interesting is content with the highest kind of value and this site is generating that connection at a high rate.

  30. Слушайте ребята, такая херня приключилась. Муж пьёт неделю без остановки. Руки опустились. Скорая не приезжает. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — профессиональная наркологическая клиника на выезде. Через час были. В общем, вся инфа вот тут — помощь вывода запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-lnm.ru[/url] Не ждите. Сохраните себе.

  31. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at atticcondor reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  32. Took me back a step or two on an assumption I had been making, and a stop at pebblecreekcommercegallery pushed that reconsideration further, writing that gently corrects the reader without being aggressive about it is a rare diplomatic skill and the team here clearly knows how to land critical points without turning readers off.

  33. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at jinblob reinforced that, the rare site whose work I would actively recommend rather than just tolerate is the kind I want to support through return visits regularly.

  34. Всем привет, такая херня приключилась. Братан уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Думали конец. В бесплатную тащить страшно — поставят на учёт. Короче, только это и спасло — профессиональная наркологическая клиника на выезде. Поставили систему.

Перешлите другу.

  35. Друзья ситуация. Попал я в переплёт. Брат пьёт без остановки. Жена в слезах. Скорая не едет. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — срочный вывод из запоя круглосуточно. Приехали через час.

Перешлите тому кому надо.

  36. Decided to set aside time later to read more carefully, and a stop at holbook reinforced that decision, content that earns a calendar entry rather than just a passing read is in a different tier altogether and this site is clearly working at that elevated level which I really do appreciate as a reader today.

  37. Друзья ситуация. Жесть случилась полная. Муж просто пропадает. Жена в слезах. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — вывод из запоя дешево и сердито. Отошёл за полчаса. В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — нарколог на дом вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-ghi.ru]нарколог на дом вывод из запоя[/url] Не тяните. Скиньте другу в беде.

  38. Strong recommendation from me, anyone curious about the topic should make time for this, and a look at autumnmeadowcommercegallery only sharpens that recommendation further, the kind of resource that holds up against careful scrutiny rather than crumbling at the first critical question is rare and worth pointing other people toward when the topic comes up.

  39. Now planning to recommend this site in a context where my recommendations are taken seriously, and a stop at borealbarley confirmed I should make that recommendation soon, the small but real act of recommending content into spaces where my taste matters is something I take seriously and this site is worth the recommendation.

  40. Most posts I read end up forgotten within a day but this one is sticking, and a look at scrolltower 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.

  41. Now setting aside time on my next free afternoon to read more from the archives, and a stop at jinvex confirmed that time will be well spent, the rare site whose archive deserves a dedicated reading session rather than just casual sampling is the kind of resource worth scheduling around and this one qualifies clearly.

  42. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at pineharborcraftcollective extended that mild regret, the calculation of how many years of good content I missed by not finding the right sources earlier is one I try not to make too often but it does come up sometimes when I find sites this good.

  43. Люди, сталкивался сам с таким — муж пьёт без остановки. Жена в слезах. А скорая не едет. У меня брат так чуть не загнулся. Короче, проверенный способ — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Откачали и спать уложили. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-jhg.ru]вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Промедление реально убивает.

  46. Closed the tab with a small sense of finality rather than the usual rushed exit, and a stop at scrollturtle 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.

  47. Now thinking I want more sites built on this kind of editorial foundation, and a stop at premiumpickzone 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.

  48. Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at rubyorchardartisanexchange suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
