As we step into the year 2026, I, Chief ‘Aare’ Oluwasegun Oyedijo, extend my warmest New Year greetings to Nigerians and friends across the world—those at home and our resilient compatriots in the Diaspora.

The past year tested our resolve, yet it also revealed our strength, unity, and unwavering hope.
I commend the courage of our people, the commitment of our professionals abroad who continue to uplift our nation’s image, and the dedication of community leaders, civil society actors, youths, women, and elders who remain steadfast in service.

In 2026, let us renew our collective commitment to peace, development, accountability, and inclusive growth. May this year bring fresh opportunities for progress, stronger partnerships, and purposeful leadership that prioritizes the welfare of the people. I call on all—at home and abroad—to continue contributing ideas, skills, and resources toward nation-building and community advancement.

May the New Year usher in good health, prosperity, security, and renewed hope for every family. Together, let us build a future anchored on unity, compassion, and shared responsibility.
Happy New Year 2026.
