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. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at astrebee confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.

  2. Здорова, народ Близкий человек уже 10 дней в запое Соседи уже вызвали участкового Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, единственные кто взялся за безнадёжный случай — вывод из запоя в стационаре с индивидуальным лечением Капельницы и уколы по схеме В общем, телефон и цены тут — вывод из запоя стационарно спб [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-staczionare-sankt-peterburg-gtb.ru]https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-staczionare-sankt-peterburg-gtb.ru[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в беде

    Everything for Minecraft https://www.topminecraftworldseeds.com in one place: mods, skins, maps, texture packs, and the best seeds for survival, creativity, and adventure. Collections of popular add-ons, installation instructions, updates, and secure downloads for different versions of the game.

  4. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at parcohm maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  5. Люди помогите советом Брат потерял человеческий облик Дети боятся заходить в комнату В диспансер тащить — последнее дело Короче, спасла только госпитализация — лечение запоя в стационаре до стабильного состояния Капельницы и уколы по схеме В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — запой стационар [url=https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-staczionare-sankt-peterburg-gtb.ru]запой стационар[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Перешлите тем кто в беде

  6. If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at molqiro extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.

  7. melbet retragere fara comision [url=http://melbet33145.help/]melbet retragere fara comision[/url]

  8. Probably worth setting aside a longer block to read more carefully than I can right now, and a stop at claritycreatespace confirmed the longer block plan, the impulse to schedule dedicated time for a sites archive is itself a measure of trust and this site has earned that scheduling impulse from me clearly today actually.

  9. Found the use of subheadings really helpful for scanning back through the post later, and a stop at astroboard kept that reader friendly approach going, navigation is something many blog writers ignore but small structural choices make a noticeable difference for someone returning to find a specific point again days or weeks later.

  10.

  11. Thank you for the genuine effort here, it shows in every paragraph and not just the headline, and after my visit to directionalinsight I was sure this site cares about getting things right rather than chasing clicks, which is the main reason I will come back later this week to read more.

  19. Appreciated the way each section connected smoothly to the next without abrupt jumps, and a stop at buildmomentummethodically kept that flow going nicely, transitions are something most blog writers ignore but the difference is huge for the reader who is trying to follow a sustained line of thought today across many different topics.

  20. Liked that the post landed without needing to manufacture controversy or take a contrarian stance for attention, and a stop at forwardmotionengine continued that grounded approach, content that earns attention through quality rather than provocation is the kind that builds long term trust rather than burning it on quick wins.

  21.

  22. Здорова, народ Близкий человек уже 10 дней в запое Дети боятся заходить в комнату Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, единственные кто взялся за безнадёжный случай — наркологическая клиника стационар с круглосуточным наблюдением Врачи и медсёстры 24/7 В общем, не потеряйте контакты — наркологическая клиника стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-bny.ru]наркологическая клиника стационар[/url] Не ждите пока станет хуже Это может спасти жизнь

  23. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at momentumactivation extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  24. Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at balticcape keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.

  25. Now appreciating the way the post avoided the temptation to be longer than necessary, and a look at claritytrajectory continued that lean approach, content with the discipline to stop when finished rather than padding for length is content that respects both itself and its readers and this site has that disciplined editorial culture clearly throughout.

  26. crash online melbet [url=https://www.melbet33145.help]https://www.melbet33145.help[/url]

  27. A particular kind of restraint shows up in the writing, and a look at boomclove maintained the same restraint across pages, knowing what not to say is just as important as knowing what to say and this site has clearly developed strong instincts on both sides of that editorial line throughout pieces I have read.

  28. Bookmark earned and shared the link with one specific person who would care, and a look at clarityfocus 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.

  29. Most attempts at writing on this topic feel like they are missing something and this post finally identified what was missing, and a look at marshplate extended that diagnostic clarity, content that names what is wrong with adjacent treatments while doing better itself is content with both critical and constructive value and this site has both.

  30. A piece that did not waste any of its substance on sales or promotion, and a look at laurelmallow continued that pure content focus, sites that resist the urge to monetise every paragraph are increasingly rare and this one has clearly made the editorial choice to keep the writing clean from commercial intrusion which I value highly.

  31. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at focusignition 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.

  32. Now I want to find more sites like this but I suspect they are rare, and a look at teraware extended that thought, the few sites that meet this quality bar are precious specifically because they are rare and finding others like them is one of the ongoing projects of careful internet curation across the years.

  33. Люди подскажите Брат умирает на глазах Соседи уже вызвали полицию В диспансер тащить — страшно Короче, спасла только госпитализация — госпитализация в наркологический стационар 24/7 Провели полное очищение организма В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — лечение наркомании стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-rtv.ru]лечение наркомании стационар[/url] Стационар — единственное решение Это может спасти жизнь близкого

  34. Москва, всем привет Близкий человек уже неделю в запое Дети напуганы до смерти В диспансер тащить — страшно и стыдно Короче, врачи вытащили с того света — госпитализация в наркологический стационар 24/7 Выписали через 5 дней без ломки В общем, телефон и цены тут — лечение наркомании стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru[/url] Стационар — это реальный шанс Это может спасти чью-то семью

  35. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at buffbaron extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  36. Bookmark folder reorganised slightly to make this site easier to find, and a look at ideapath earned the same accessibility upgrade, the small organisational moves I make for sites I expect to return to often are themselves a signal of how much I trust them and this site triggered those moves naturally.

  37. Москва, всем привет Близкий человек просто умирает на глазах Мать плачет В диспансер тащить — стыд и страх Короче, спасла только госпитализация — платный наркологический стационар с палатами Врачи и медсёстры круглосуточно В общем, телефон и цены тут — наркологические стационары в москве [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-cde.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-cde.ru[/url] Стационар — единственное решение Это может спасти жизнь близкого

  38. Здорова, народ Мой друг уже 9 дней в запое Соседи уже вызвали полицию Скорая не приезжает на такие вызовы Короче, единственное что сработало — госпитализация в наркологический стационар 24/7 Положили в палату В общем, не потеряйте контакты — наркологический стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-fal.ru]наркологический стационар[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Это может спасти жизнь близкого

  39. Now appreciating that the post did not require external context to follow, and a look at astrobush maintained the same self contained quality, content that respects new visitors by being readable without prerequisites is content with broader accessibility and this site has clearly invested in keeping each piece reader friendly for fresh arrivals.

  40. Люди помогите советом Беда пришла в семью Соседи стучат в стену В диспансер тащить — страшно и стыдно Короче, врачи вытащили с того света — лечение в наркологическом стационаре под контролем Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — наркологическая клиника стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru]наркологическая клиника стационар[/url] Стационар — это реальный шанс Перешлите тем кто в отчаянии

  41. Reading this in my last reading slot of the day was a good way to end, and a stop at actionturnsideas provided a satisfying close to the reading session, content that ends a day well rather than agitating it before sleep is the kind I value increasingly and this site fits that role for me consistently now.

  42. Worth saying this site reads better than most paid newsletters I have tried, and a stop at claritystarter confirmed that comparison, the bar for free content is often lower than for paid but this site clears the paid bar consistently and that says something about the editorial approach behind the work being published here regularly.
