You want to know what Tinubu has done right because you are blind and can't see the coastal road. I also know that you're unaware of the NELFUND Student loan. I am very confident that the dualization and concrete roadwork on the ORE-AKURE Expressway are not visible to you.
Perhaps you were not informed about the rehabilitation of the Shagamu-Benin Expressway. I am definitely certain that the strides in the Ministry of Interior, from prison reforms to immigration services, are just an illusion. The Sokoto-Badagry Highway is probably a joke to you.
The reduction in our public debt may not seem real to you, and it will make it difficult for you to appreciate our rising foreign reserves. You will surely find it hard to comprehend the benefits of the tax reforms, and I won't be surprised if you struggle to appreciate the local government's financial autonomy.
How bad is it that we are no longer indebted to the IMF? The drop in inflation is not good news for some people. The CREDICORP initiative is a mirage to you, and I wouldn't bother to elaborate on the achievements of the Federal Housing Authority. If I talk about the intervention in the rehabilitation of primary health centre facilities, it still won't make sense to you.
I could go on and on about roads, but you might call it basic. I can also discuss the construction of new technical colleges and the provision of free tuition for all students. I know you will still complain. I won't even list anything the President has done right. I will allow you to keep wallowing in your delusions and complaints.
It is PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU GCFR TILL 2031.

2026: THE BEGINNING OF A MORE ROBUST PHASE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH
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.
