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. On reflection this is the kind of writing that improves my taste for what is possible in the format, and a look at qelmizo continued raising that bar, content that elevates my expectations rather than lowering them is doing important work in calibrating my standards and this site is participating in that elevation reliably.

  2. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at ampleclove reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  3. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at directionalnavigation reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  4. Здорова, народ Брат снова сорвался в пьянку Родственники не знают что делать Платная клиника — бешеные деньги Короче, врачи вытащили с того света — наркологическая клиника стационар с индивидуальным подходом Капельницы и препараты подбирали индивидуально В общем, не потеряйте контакты — наркологическая больница стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru[/url] Не надейтесь что само пройдёт Это может спасти чью-то семью

  5. Now appreciating the small but real way this post improved my afternoon, and a stop at narrowmotor extended that small improvement effect, content that produces measurable positive impact on the texture of a reading day is content with real value and this site is producing those small positive impacts at a sustainable rate apparently.

  7. A thoughtful read in a week that has been mostly noisy, and a look at melvizo carried that thoughtful quality across more pages, finding pockets of considered writing in a week of distractions is one of the small wins of careful curation and this site is providing those pockets at a sustainable rate.

  8. Found the rhythm of the prose particularly enjoyable on this read through, and a look at bracecloth kept that musical quality going across the related pages, sentence rhythm is something most blog writers ignore but it makes a real difference in how content lands with the careful reader who cares.

  9. Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at vexring kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.

  10. Самара, всем привет После вчерашнего вообще никак Поилки и таблетки не помогают Короче, единственное что реально спасает — капельница от похмелья быстрый результат Приехали через 30 минут В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — вывод из запоя капельница [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lhb.ru]вывод из запоя капельница[/url] Не мучайтесь рассолами Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  11. Quietly the post solved something I had been turning over without quite knowing how to phrase the question, and a look at actionfuelsdirection extended that quiet solving, content that addresses unformulated needs is content with reader insight and this site has demonstrated that insight at a high rate across the pieces I have read recently.

  12. Skipped past the first paragraph thinking it was setup and had to come back when the rest referenced it, and a stop at mulchlens similarly rewarded careful reading from the start, content where every paragraph carries weight is content I now know to read from the beginning rather than skipping ahead.

  13. Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at visionnavigation extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.

  14. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at conchbook 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.

  15. Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at aeonbrawn continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.

  16. Such writing is increasingly rare and worth supporting through attention, and a stop at quincenarrow 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.

  17. Reading this slowly and letting each paragraph land before moving on, and a stop at actionmapping 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.

  18. Really like that the writer trusts the reader to follow simple logic without restating every previous point, and a stop at boomastro kept that respect going, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people who need constant hand holding makes a noticeable difference in the reading experience for me.

  19. A piece that ended with a clean landing rather than fading out, and a look at makernavy maintained the same crisp conclusions, endings that resolve rather than dissolve are a sign of careful structural thinking and this site has clearly invested in how its pieces conclude rather than letting them simply run out of energy.

  20. Привет из Самары Тошнит, трясёт, сил нет Нужно что-то серьёзное Короче, единственное что реально спасает — капельница при похмелье с препаратами Вернулся к жизни В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — врач на дом капельница от запоя [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lmr.ru]врач на дом капельница от запоя[/url] Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  21. Picked this for my morning read because the topic seemed worth the time, and a look at thinkingwithdirection confirmed the choice was right, my morning reading slot is precious and giving it to this site felt like a good investment rather than a waste which is a higher endorsement than I usually offer for content.

  23. Слушайте кто сталкивался Муж просто потерял себя Дети напуганы Нужна срочная помощь на дому Короче, только капельница реально спасла — капельница от запоя на дому круглосуточно Поставили капельницу с детоксикационным раствором В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — вывести из запоя капельница на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-zapoya-voronezh-bqi.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  24. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at qenmora pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  25. Worth flagging that the post handled an angle of the topic I had not seen elsewhere, and a look at zelzavo extended that fresh treatment, content that finds underexplored corners of well covered subjects is genuinely valuable and this site has demonstrated that exploratory editorial approach across multiple pieces in my reading sessions today.

  26. Useful enough to recommend to several people I know who would appreciate it, and a stop at perfectmill added more material I will pass along too, the kind of writing that earns word of mouth is the kind that actually delivers on its promises which is what this site does without any drama or fanfare attached.

  27. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at claritysystems continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  28. A piece that left me thinking I had been undercaring about the topic, and a look at ideatraction reinforced that mild concern, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is doing important work and this site is providing that gentle elevation of attention for me consistently.

  29. Now realising the topic deserved better treatment than it has been getting elsewhere, and a look at progressstructure extended that broader recognition, content that exposes the gap between actual quality and average quality elsewhere is doing the quiet work of raising standards and this site is contributing to that elevation in its own corner.

  30. Доброго дня, земляки Ситуация знакомая Нужно что-то серьёзное Короче, врачи приехали и поставили систему — капельница после похмелья с витаминами Вернулся к жизни В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — сколько стоит сделать капельницу на дому [url=https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lhb.ru]https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-samara-lhb.ru[/url] Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  31. Thanks for the simple approach, too many sites bury the actual point under layers of unnecessary words, but here every line earns its place, and a look at nationmagma showed the same care for the reader which is something I will remember the next time I need answers on a topic.

  32. Москва, всем привет Отец не выходит из штопора Родственники не знают что делать Скорая не приедет на такой вызов Короче, только стационар реально помог — наркологический стационар цена доступная Врачи наблюдали 24/7 В общем, жмите чтобы сохранить — наркологическая больница стационар [url=https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru]https://narkologicheskij-staczionar-moskva-gsh.ru[/url] Не надейтесь что само пройдёт Это может спасти чью-то семью

  33. Generally I bookmark sparingly to avoid building up a bookmark graveyard but this one earned a permanent slot, and a stop at rovnero extended that permanence designation, the few sites I keep permanent bookmarks for are sites I expect to use repeatedly and this one has clearly cleared that expectation bar today.

  34. Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at androblink similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.

  35. Liked the way the post got out of its own way, and a stop at aeoncraft extended that invisible craft, the best writing you barely notice while reading because it is doing its work without drawing attention to itself and this site has clearly mastered that disappearing act across the pieces I have read.

  36. Now wishing I had found this site sooner, and a look at cratercoil 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.

  37. Worth every minute of the time spent reading, and a stop at privetplain 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.

  38. Once I trust a site this much I tend to read everything they publish and that is the trajectory I am on with this one, and a stop at ideaconversion confirmed the trajectory, the rare progression from interested reader to comprehensive reader is something only certain sites earn and this one is earning that progression rapidly.

  39. Now planning a longer reading session for the archives, and a stop at muralmend confirmed the archives are worth that longer commitment, sites with archives I want to read deliberately rather than just sample are rare and this one has clearly earned that level of interest based on the consistency of what I have already read.

  40. Thank you for being clear and direct, that simple approach saves so much frustration on the reader’s end, and a stop at progressforward only made me more sure of it, the rest of the content seems to follow the same pattern which is a great sign of consistent editorial care behind the scenes.

  41. Once you find a site like this the search for similar voices begins, and a look at ampblip extended the search energy, finding a high quality reference point makes the gap between it and adjacent sources visible in a way it was not before and this site has provided that high reference point across multiple recent visits.

  42. Took the time to read the comments on this post too and they were also worth reading, and a stop at directionturnsmotion suggested the community quality matches the content quality, when the conversation around a piece is as good as the piece itself you know you have found a real corner of the internet.
