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. Came across this through a roundabout path and now it is on my regular rotation, and a stop at ideaprocessing sealed that decision, the open web still produces serendipitous discoveries when you let the citations and references guide you rather than relying purely on algorithmic feeds for new content recommendations always.

  2. Люди помогите советом Близкий человек просто умирает на глазах Мать плачет Скорая отказывается выезжать Короче, единственное что сработало — наркологическая больница стационар с капельницами Сделали кодировку на год В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — наркологический стационар москва [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-pfk.ru]наркологический стационар москва[/url] Стационар — единственное решение Перешлите тем кто в такой же беде

  3. A piece that suggested careful editing without showing the marks of the editing, and a look at pillownebula 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.

  4. mostbet hesab təsdiqlənib [url=www.mostbet27461.online]www.mostbet27461.online[/url]

  6. Picked up several practical tips that I plan to try out this week, and a look at cultbotany 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.

  7. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at chordcircle extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.

  8. Здорова, народ Ситуация знакомая Организм просто отказывается работать Короче, единственное что реально спасает — снятие похмелья капельницей эффективно Через час состояние нормализовалось В общем, не потеряйте контакты — капельница от алкоголя [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lhb.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lhb.ru[/url] Не мучайтесь рассолами Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  9. Reading this in the morning set a good tone for the day, and a quick visit to growthlogic kept that good tone going, content can do that sometimes when it hits the right notes and finding sites that consistently strike that tone is something I have learned to recognise and reward with regular visits.

  10. Now sitting back and recognising that this was a small but real win in my reading day, and a stop at bauxbee 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.

  11. Now realising this site has been quietly doing good work for longer than I knew, and a look at navqiro suggested an archive worth exploring, sites with deep archives of consistent quality represent a different kind of resource than sites with viral hits and this one looks like the durable kind based on what I see.

  14. Came back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at actionframework suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.

  15. Здорова, народ Близкий человек уже неделю в запое Родственники не знают что делать Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, врачи вытащили с того света — наркологические услуги в стационаре полный комплекс Положили в комфортную палату В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — наркология москва стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-vex.ru[/url] Стационар — это реальный шанс Перешлите тем кто в отчаянии

  16. Got something practical out of this that I can apply later this week, and a stop at amploom added more details to think about, this is exactly the kind of content I bookmark for future reference rather than the throwaway listicles that dominate most search results these days for almost any common topic.

  17. Слушайте кто знает Кошмар в семье Дети боятся заходить в комнату Платная клиника просит бешеные деньги Короче, спасла только госпитализация — наркологическая больница стационар с капельницами Врачи и медсёстры 24/7 В общем, телефон и цены тут — наркологический стационар москва [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-bny.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-bny.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Это может спасти жизнь

  20. Reading this prompted a small note in my reference file, and a stop at mutelion 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.

  21. A genuine pleasure to find a site that publishes at a sustainable cadence rather than chasing the daily content treadmill, and a look at noonmyrrh confirmed the careful publication rhythm, sites that prioritise quality over frequency are rare and this one has clearly chosen the slower pace which I appreciate as a reader.

  22. Слушайте кто знает Муж просто умирает на глазах Родственники в полном отчаянии Платная клиника просит бешеные деньги Короче, врачи стационара реально вытащили — платный наркологический стационар с палатами Капельницы и уколы по схеме В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — наркологический стационар цена [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-zrt.ru]наркологический стационар цена[/url] Стационар — это единственный выход Это может спасти жизнь

  23. Bookmark earned, calendar reminder set, share queued, all from one good post, and a look at norqavo did the same, when a single reading session triggers multiple downstream actions you know the content has actually moved me beyond the page and this site is moving me at that higher level reliably.

  24. Just sat back at the end of the post and felt grateful that someone took the time to write it, and a look at ideaexecutionhub extended that gratitude across more of the site, recognising effort behind quality work is part of what makes the open web a community rather than just a marketplace today.

  25. Came here from a search and stayed for the side links because they were that interesting, and a stop at progressmovescleanly took me even further into the site, the kind of organic exploration that good content invites is something most sites kill through aggressive interlinking and pushy navigation choices rather than relying on quality.

  26. Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at focusalignmenthub adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.

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

  28. Felt mildly happier after reading, which sounds silly but is true, and a look at purplemilk extended that small mood lift, content that improves rather than degrades my mental state is content I want more of and the cumulative effect of reading sites that lift versus sites that drag is real over time.

  29. Looking through the archives suggests this site has been doing this for a while at this level, and a look at ideapipeline confirmed the long term consistency, sites that have maintained quality across years rather than just a recent stretch are sites with serious editorial discipline and this one has clearly been at it for a while.

  30. Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to ideasbecomeaction confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.

  34. Going to come back when I have more time to read carefully, the post deserves more than a quick scan, and a stop at claritymapping reinforced that, this is the kind of site that rewards a slower read which is hard to find in this fast paced corner of the internet but really worthwhile.

  35.

  37. Honest take is that this was better than I expected when I clicked through, and a look at cipherbeach reinforced that, the bar for online content has dropped so much that finding something thoughtful and well constructed feels almost noteworthy now which says more about the average than about this site itself.

  38.

  42. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at progressdriver 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.

  43. Люди помогите советом Беда пришла в семью Дети напуганы до смерти Платная клиника — бешеные деньги Короче, только стационар реально помог — госпитализация в наркологический стационар круглосуточно Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, не потеряйте контакты — наркология москва стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-lba.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-lba.ru[/url] Стационар — это реальный шанс Это может спасти чью-то семью

  46. Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at bowbotany kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.

  47. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at clarityactivator kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
