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. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at beaconbevel did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  2. Genuine pleasure to read, and that is not something I say often after a casual click through, and a quick visit to ambergrouse kept the same feeling going across the rest of the site, finding writing that actually feels good to spend time with rather than just functional is increasingly rare on the open web.

    Квартиры в новостройках https://novostroyka78.ru Курортного района СПб с удобным поиском по цене, площади и срокам сдачи. Современные жилые комплексы, экологичная локация, близость парков и Финского залива, выгодные ипотечные программы и предложения от застройщиков.

  4. Just want to recognise that someone clearly cared about how this turned out, and a look at jikbond confirmed that care extends across the broader site, you can feel the difference between content shipped to hit a deadline and content released because the writer was actually proud of the result for once.

  5. Друзья ситуация. Жесть просто полная. Близкий человек уже шестой день в завязке. Жена рыдает. В диспансер везти — клеймо на всю жизнь. Короче, нормальные врачи попались — лучшая наркологическая клиника с выездом. Поставили капельницу. В общем, сохраняйте себе — снятие интоксикации на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-fds.ru]снятие интоксикации на дому[/url] Не надейтесь на авось. Скиньте кому надо.

  6. Reading this on the train into work was a better use of the commute than my usual choices, and a stop at eloido extended that commute reading well, content that improves transit time rather than just filling it is content with practical benefit and this site has earned its place in my morning commute reading rotation.

  7. Že kar nekaj časa spremljam to temo. Ko sem prvič slišal za odvajanje od alkohola po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem spoznal ljudi, ki jim je uspelo — ugotovil sem, da to res deluje. Odvisnost od alkohola je strašna bolezen. In najhuje je, da ne poznajo dobrih možnosti zdravljenja. Zato vam želim pokazati vse tehnične podrobnosti in uradne informacije, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: alkoholizem [url=http://alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]alkoholizem[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Po dolgih letih sem končno našel rešitev. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — vzemite si čas in preberite. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  8. Сил уже нет, каждое утро одно и то же. Руки опускаются. Наркологическая клиника с выездом — адекватный вывод из запоя цены указаны. Там реальные врачи. Короче, вот вам информация — вывод из запоя круглосуточно [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя круглосуточно[/url] Не ждите чуда. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем хоронить близкого. Проверено на своей шкуре.

  9. Слушайте что расскажу. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Брат пьёт без остановки. Соседи стучат в дверь. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Поставили систему.

Перешлите тому кому надо.

  10. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. Ko sem prvič slišal za zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjev centra, sem bil neveren. Ampak ko sem prebral izkušnje anderen — vse se je spremenilo. Alkoholizem uničuje družine. 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: ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma [url=http://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]http://www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com[/url]. Več o tem si preberite na spodnji povezavi.

    Po dolgih letih sem končno našel rešitev. Če se soočate s podobno težavo — to je lahko prelomnica v vašem življenju. Vsak dan je nova priložnost.

  11. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at ravensummitartisanexchange extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  13. Veliko sem prebral in slišal o tem. Ko sem prvič slišal za ambulantno zdravljenje alkoholizma po metodi Dr Vorobjeva, sem bil poln dvomov. Ampak ko sem spoznal ljudi, ki jim je uspelo — vse se je spremenilo. Vsak dan se veliko ljudi bori s to težavo. In najhuje je, da ljudje se sramujejo prositi za pomoč. Zato vam želim pokazati vse tehnične podrobnosti in uradne informacije, ki so na voljo na tej povezavi: alkoholizem [url=www.alkoholizma-zdravljenje-si.com]alkoholizem[/url]. Na tej povezavi so odgovori na vsa vprašanja.

    Zdaj živim polno življenje brez alkohola. Če vas to zanima — to je lahko prelomnica v vašem življenju. Srečno vsem na tej poti!

  14. Друзья ситуация. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Жена в слезах. В диспансер везти — учёт на всю жизнь. Короче, единственное что реально помогло — вывести из запоя на дому качественно. Приехали через час. В общем, вся инфа вот здесь — капельница от запоя телефон [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-abc.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-samara-abc.ru[/url] Не тяните. Перешлите тому кому надо.

  15. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at chestnutharborcommercegallery 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.

  16. Honestly enjoyed reading this more than I expected to when I first clicked through, and a stop at hurbug kept that pleasant surprise going, sometimes you stumble onto a site that just clicks with how you like to read and this is one of those for me right now today which is great.

  17. Ох уж это, родственники на нервах. Руки опускаются. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Не шарлатаны какие-то. Короче, там все по полочкам — срочный вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]срочный вывод из запоя[/url] Организм не вывозит. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем потом собирать по кускам. Серьезно ребят.

  18. A small thank you note from me to the team behind this work, the post earned it, and a stop at lavenderharborartisanexchange suggested more thanks would be in order over time, recognising the people who do good writing online is something I try to remember to do because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity unfortunately.

  19. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at selectshare got the same targeted share, sharing carefully rather than broadcasting is a discipline I try to maintain and this site is generating shares from me at a sustainable rate rather than the spam rate of viral content.

  20. Нифига себе проблема, соседи уже устали слушать эти крики. Без вариантов — только срочный вывод из запоя. Тут тебе не частная лавочка. Между нами, там все подробно расписано — откапаться на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Хватит надеяться на авось. Поверьте моему опыту, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  21. A piece that prompted a small mental rearrangement of how I order related ideas, and a look at coppercovemerchantgallery extended that rearranging effect, content that affects the structure of my thinking rather than just adding to it is content with the deepest kind of impact and this site is reaching that depth for me today.

  22. Да уж, соседи уже устали слушать эти крики. Как есть — реальное выведение из запоя без кодировки. Тут тебе не частная лавочка. Между нами, вот нормальный расклад — вывод из запоя прайс [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Хватит надеяться на авось. Лучше один раз дернуться, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Рекомендую эту наркологическую клинику.

  23. Блин, родственники на нервах. Что делать — непонятно. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Там реальные врачи. Короче, вот вам информация — помощь вывода запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru[/url] Организм не вывозит. Лучше решить проблему сейчас, чем потом собирать по кускам. Очень советую эту контору.

  24. A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at bisonbatik extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.

  25. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at mintmeadowcommercegallery continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  26. Probably going to mention this site in a write up I am working on later this month, and a stop at tokenudon provided more material for that potential mention, content worth referencing in my own published work rather than just personal reading is content with the highest endorsement level and this site has earned that endorsement.

  27. Народ привет. Попал в жесть полную. Отец не выходит из запоя. Соседи стучат в дверь. Скорая не едет на такие вызовы. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — лучшая наркологическая клиника с выездом. Примчались быстро.

Скиньте другу в беде.

  28. Сил уже нет, каждое утро одно и то же. Что делать — непонятно. Проверенный вариант — качественный вывод из запоя на дому. Ребята знают свое дело. Короче, тыкайте сюда — вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-bvc.ru]вывод из запоя на дому[/url] Не ждите чуда. Сам через это прошел, чем хоронить близкого. Серьезно ребят.

  29. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at silvercovemerchantgallery extends that value across more pages, in a media environment where most content is engineered to waste attention this site stands out by treating reader time as something valuable rather than something to be exploited and stretched as far as possible.

  30. Да уж, соседи уже устали слушать эти крики. Как есть — только срочный вывод из запоя. Тут тебе не частная лавочка.

  33. Really like that there are no exclamation marks or all caps shouting throughout the post, and a quick visit to cobbleiguana maintained the same calm voice, restraint in punctuation signals confidence in the content and this site clearly trusts its substance to do the persuading rather than relying on typographic emphasis.

  34. Even on a quick first read the substance of the post comes through, and a look at camelchamois 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.

Лучше один раз дернуться, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Рекомендую эту наркологическую клинику.

  37. Quiet confidence runs through the whole post, no need to shout to make the points stick, and a stop at turbinevault carried that same restrained voice forward, content that respects the reader by trusting its own substance rather than dressing it up in theatrical language is what I look for online and rarely actually find these days.

  38. Друзья ситуация. Столкнулся с такой бедой. Близкий не выходит из запоя. Соседи стучат в дверь. Платные клиники просят бешеные деньги. Короче, нормальные врачи нашлись — профессиональное выведение из запоя капельницей. Поставили систему.

Между нами, там все подробно расписано — сколько стоит вывод из запоя [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Печень вообще молчит. Поверьте моему опыту, чем потом скорую вызывать. Проверенный вариант по городу.

  40. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at shiretrellis fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.

  41. Да уж, человек просто в штопоре. Без вариантов — реальное выведение из запоя без кодировки. Врачи с допуском. Короче говоря, смотрите сами по ссылке — откапаться на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-xrt.ru[/url] Хватит надеяться на авось. Поверьте моему опыту, чем труп из квартиры выносить. Рекомендую эту наркологическую клинику.

  42. Even from a single post the editorial care is clear, and a stop at urbancartzone 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.

  43. Felt the writer respected the topic without being precious about it, and a look at bevelhamlet continued that respectful but unfussy treatment, finding the right register for serious topics is hard and this site has clearly figured out how to take the topic seriously while still being readable for casual visitors regularly.

  44. Честно говоря, куча народу сталкивается. Каждые выходные одно и то же. В такой теме очень важно не слушать советы алконавтов из подворотни. Нашел нормальный вариант — вывод из запоя на дому. Там работают толковые врачи. Если честно, вот собственно источник — срочный вывод из запоя на дому [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Не тяните резину, потому что один финал — реанимация. Проверено на себе.

  45. Знаете, родственники просто в тупике. Каждые выходные одно и то же. В этом вопросе главное не слушать советы алконавтов из подворотни. Я нарыл инфу — вывод из запоя цены адекватные. Там работают толковые врачи. Короче, вот собственно источник — вывод из запоя на дому недорого [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-na-domu-voronezh-kmp.ru[/url] Звоните пока не поздно, так как один финал — реанимация. Сам так спасал брата.

  46. Genuine reaction is that this site clicked with how I like to read, and a look at beaconcopper kept that comfortable fit going, sometimes you find a place online whose editorial decisions just align with your preferences and when that happens it is worth recognising and supporting through repeat engagement consistently going forward.

  47. Took a few notes from this post, the points are easy to remember without needing to come back and check, and a look at celerycivet added a couple more, the kind of place that sticks in the memory long after the browser tab has been closed for the day which says a lot really.

  48. Came in for one specific question and got answers to three I had not even thought to ask, and a look at antlerebony extended that bonus value pattern, the kind of resource that anticipates reader needs rather than just answering the literal question asked is the gold standard and this site reaches it.
