Reforms hurt, but security’s non-negotiable: President Bola Tinubu promises deeper regional/global partnerships next year to crush terrorists and criminals threatening Nigeria’s peace.
In his Thursday New Year message, Tinubu spotlighted recent U.S.-backed Northwest strikes (Dec. 24) and ongoing ops in Northeast/Northwest. “Security agencies will ramp intel-sharing/coordination to eliminate threats,” he said, backing decentralized policing plus regulated forest guards for long-term wins.
Economic bright spot: “2026 kicks off robust growth” via Renewed Hope Ward Programme empowering 1,000+ per 8,809 wards (10M total) through ag, trade, processing, mining. Infra rolls on uninterrupted; unity’s key. “Nation-building is on all of us may God safeguard our troops, smash enemies.”
