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. Reading this slowly because the writing rewards a slower pace, and a stop at shoresyrup did the same, the pace at which I read content is something I now use as a quality signal and writing that earns a slower pace earns my attention as a reader looking for substance these days.

  2. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at quickridgecommercegallery kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  3. Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at aviarybuckle produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.

  4. Слушайте что расскажу. Влип я конкретно. Муж просто убивает себя. Соседи стучат в дверь. В диспансер везти — на всю жизнь учёт. Короче, только это и вытащило — доступный вывод из запоя цены адекватные. Примчались быстро. В общем, вся информация вот здесь — помощь вывода запоя [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.

  5. Народ выручайте. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Брат пьёт без остановки. Дети не спят ночами. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — вывести из запоя на дому качественно. Поставили систему. В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — доктор вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-ghi.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-ghi.ru[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  6. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at chestnutharbormerchantgallery similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  7. A piece that handled multiple complications without becoming confused, and a look at ilavex 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.

  8. Honestly impressed by how much useful content sits in such a small post, and a stop at stylesteam confirmed the rest of the site packs a similar punch, density without confusion is a hard balance to strike and this site has clearly cracked the code on it across many different topic areas covered.

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

  10. Reading this gave me a quiet moment of intellectual pleasure that I had not been expecting, and a stop at sagevogue 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.

  11. Will be coming back to this for sure, too much good content to absorb in one sitting, and a stop at seacoveartisanexchange only added more pages I want to dig through, this site is going onto my regular rotation list because it consistently delivers something worth the visit lately rather than empty filler.

  12. Skipped the related links section thinking I had read enough and then came back to it later when curiosity got the better of me, and a stop at smartonlinemarket confirmed I should have just read it first, every section of this site appears to deserve careful attention rather than skipping past lazily.

  13. Honestly enjoyed not being sold anything for the entire duration of the post, and a look at stylishcartzone kept that pleasant absence going across more pages, content that exists for its own sake rather than as a funnel to a paid product is increasingly rare and worth supporting where I can find it.

  14. Refreshing to read something where the words actually mean something instead of filling space, and a stop at sheentiny 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.

  15. Самарцы всем привет. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Дети не спят ночами. Скорая не едет. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — вывод из запоя дешево и сердито. Приехали через час. В общем, там контакты и прайс — вывод из запоя дешево [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-def.ru]вывод из запоя дешево[/url] Не тяните. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  16. Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at carobcattail extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.

  17. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at beaconaster reinforced that immediate quality, content that does not require a slow careful read to demonstrate value but rewards one anyway is content with real depth and this site has produced work of that demanding depth class.

  18. Reading this with my morning coffee turned into reading the related posts with my morning coffee, and a stop at plumcovecraftcollective stretched the morning further, content that pulls breakfast into a reading session rather than just accompanying it is content that has earned a higher claim on my attention than the average article does.

  19. My time on this site has now extended past what I had budgeted, and a stop at ambercanyon keeps extending it further, content that overstays its budget in my schedule is content that has earned the extra time and this site has been earning extra time across multiple visits to the point where my schedule needs adjustment.

  20. A genuinely unexpected highlight of my reading week, and a look at aspenfalcon extended that pattern, the surprise of finding excellent content rather than the predictable mediocre is one of the few real pleasures of casual web browsing and this site delivered that surprise cleanly today which I really do appreciate.

  21. I appreciate the clarity here, everything is explained in simple terms without unnecessary detail, and after a quick stop at ekooat 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.

  22. Слушайте что расскажу. Жесть случилась полная. Человек уже четвёртые сутки в штопоре. Жена в слезах. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь. Короче, только это и спасло — срочный вывод из запоя круглосуточно. Поставили систему. В общем, жмите чтобы не потерять — выведение из запоя на дому воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-plk.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-plk.ru[/url] Каждая минута дорога.

  25. Found something quietly useful here that I expect to return to, and a stop at sketchstamp added more of the same, content with quiet utility ages well in a way that flashy hot takes do not and I have learned to weight quiet utility much higher when deciding what to bookmark for later use.

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

  27. Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at calmharborcommercegallery 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.

  28. Started reading and ended an hour later without realising the time had passed, and a look at lanternorchardcraftcollective 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.

  29. Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at azuqix only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.

  30. Bookmark earned and folder updated to track this site separately, and a look at suburbsurge confirmed the folder upgrade was the right call, organising my reading list so that good sites do not get lost in a sea of casual bookmarks is something I do more carefully now and this site warranted its own spot.

    Профессиональная школа английского для детей YES Center приглашает учеников от дошкольников до подростков. Игровые методики, опытные преподаватели и небольшие группы создают идеальные условия для обучения. Ребёнок заговорит уверенно и без страха ошибиться.

  32. A quiet piece that did not try to compete on volume, and a look at bagelcameo maintained that selective approach, sites that publish less but better are increasingly rare in an environment that rewards volume and this one has clearly chosen quality cadence over quantity which is a brave editorial decision in current conditions.

  33. Народ привет. Влип я конкретно. Брат пьёт без остановки. Жена вся в слезах. Скорая не едет на такие вызовы. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — лучшая наркологическая клиника с выездом.

  34. Народ выручайте. Попал я в переплёт конкретный. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Дети не спят ночами. Скорая не едет. Короче, только это и спасло — вывести из запоя на дому качественно. Отошёл за полчаса. В общем, смотрите сами по ссылке — вывод из запоя анонимно [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-abc.ru]вывод из запоя анонимно[/url] Не надейтесь на авось.

  35. Thanks for taking the time to write this, it is clear that some thought went into how each point would land, and after I went through roseharborcommercegallery I had a better grip on the topic, real value without the usual marketing noise people have to put up with online when searching for answers.

  36. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. Ko sem prvič slišal za zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — vse se je spremenilo. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. In najhuje je, da ljudje se sramujejo prositi za pomoč. Zato svetujem, da si vzamete čas in preberete posodobljene podatke, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: alkoholizem [url=https://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]alkoholizem[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

  38. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. 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. Odvisnost od alkohola je strašna bolezen. 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: odvisnost od alkohol [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]odvisnost od alkohol[/url].

  39. Dolgo sem iskal pravo rešitev. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem videl rezultate — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Vsak dan se veliko ljudi bori s to težavo. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja.

    Meni je ta pristop pomagal. Če poznate koga, ki potrebuje pomoč — vzemite si čas in preberite. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  40. During a quiet evening reading session this provided just the right depth without being heavy, and a stop at cameoaspen maintained the same evening appropriate weight, content with depth that does not exhaust the reader is content with editorial calibration and this site has clearly figured out how to be substantial without being demanding all the time.

  41. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at stereoskein 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.

  42. A clean piece that knew exactly what it wanted to say and said it, and a look at silkgrovecraftcollective maintained the same clarity of intention, knowing the goal of a piece before writing is something most blog content lacks and the clarity of purpose here shows up in every paragraph for any careful reader to notice.

  43. Just one of those reads that left me feeling slightly more capable rather than overwhelmed, and a look at sonarsandal kept that empowering feel going, the difference between content that builds the reader up and content that intimidates them is huge and this site clearly knows which side of that line to stand.

  44. Сил уже нет, родственники на нервах. Руки опускаются. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — нормальное выведение из запоя капельницей. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, вот вам информация — вывод из запоя цены воронеж [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя цены воронеж[/url] Организм не вывозит. Сам через это прошел, чем хоронить близкого. Очень советую эту контору.

  45. Honest reaction is that this is the kind of writing I would defend in a conversation about good blog content, and a look at stylishgoodscorner 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.

  46. Ох уж это, каждое утро одно и то же. Что делать — непонятно. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, вот вам информация — вывод из запоя цена на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя цена на дому[/url] Каждая пьянка минус ресурс. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем хоронить близкого. Проверено на своей шкуре.

  47. Skipped lunch to finish reading, which says something, and a stop at tyrantvolume kept me at my desk longer than planned, when content beats the lunch impulse the writer has done something genuinely impressive in an attention environment full of immediately satisfying alternatives competing for the same finite block of reader time.

  48. Dolgo sem iskal pravo rešitev. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem videl rezultate — vse se je spremenilo. Odvisnost od alkohola je strašna bolezen. 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: Dr Vorobjev center [url=https://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]https://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Tam boste našli vse potrebne informacije.

    Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če vas to zanima — to je lahko prelomnica v vašem življenju. Vsak dan je nova priložnost.

  49. Now considering carefully how to share this site with the right audience rather than broadcasting widely, and a look at calicocameo extended that careful sharing impulse, content worth sharing carefully rather than spamming is content that has earned a higher kind of recommendation and this site has earned that careful shareability throughout pieces.

  50. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at cavernfjord extended that quiet win, the cumulative effect of small reading wins versus the cumulative effect of small reading losses is real over time and this site is contributing to the wins side of that ledger.
