New Year’s Day Speech

President Bola Tinubu on Monday delivered his first New Year’s Day speech since he assumed office in May 2023

"Dear Compatriots, take this from me: the time may be rough and tough, however, our spirit must remain unbowed because tough times never last."

"Just this past December during COP28 in Dubai, the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, and I agreed and committed to a new deal to speed up the delivery of the Siemens Energy power project that will ultimately deliver reliable supply of electricity to our homes and businesses under the Presidential Power Initiative which began in 2018."
