Economic Progress And OutlookAs we enter 2026, our focus is on consolidating these gains and continuing to build a resilient, sustainable, inclusive, and growth-oriented economy. 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. 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. In 2026, our security and intelligence agencies will deepen cooperation with regional and global partners to eliminate all threats to national security. Inclusive Growth And Social DevelopmentThe new year marks the beginning of a more robust phase of economic growth, with tangible improvements in the lives of our people.
