President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has outlined his administration’s priorities for 2026, pledging to consolidate the gains of ongoing reforms while building a more resilient and inclusive Nigerian economy.
The President said the focus for the year would be on strengthening macroeconomic stability, boosting productivity, and ensuring that economic growth translates into improved living standards for Nigerians. He reaffirmed his commitment to fiscal discipline, private sector–led growth, and policies aimed at reducing poverty and unemployment.
According to Tinubu, the administration will intensify efforts to expand infrastructure development, enhance food security, support small and medium-scale enterprises, and attract both local and foreign investments. He also emphasized the importance of social protection programmes to cushion the effects of reforms on vulnerable citizens.
The President noted that while reforms undertaken so far have been difficult, they are necessary to lay a sustainable foundation for long-term economic growth and national prosperity.
He assured Nigerians that his government remains focused on inclusive development, transparency, and accountability, stressing that the ultimate goal is to build a stronger economy that works for all.
