Tough reforms paying off? President Bola Tinubu forecasts robust growth, sub-15% inflation drop, and gains hitting every home in 2026—building on 2025’s fiscal reset amid global storms.
Thursday’s New Year message radiated optimism: “Grateful for 2026—strong quarterly GDP over 4%, trade surpluses, exchange stability, reserves at $45.4bn (Dec 29) buffering shocks.” FDI spiked Q3 on investor confidence (credit agencies nodding), he boasted.
2026 focus: Consolidate via fair tax harmonization for infra/social spend. “Patience + discipline = stronger Nigeria,” Tinubu urged. “Reforms confirm we’re right—concrete wins ahead for ordinary folks.”
