2026 declared Year of Social Development and Family
Figures below refer to 6 February 2026 unless stated otherwise.
The claim
On 6 February 2026 President Tinubu declared 2026 the Year of Social Development and Family.
Figures
Commitments include the Nigeria for Women Project Scale-Up targeting 25 million women and the launch of the Third National Action Plan on UNSCR 1325 (Women, Peace and Security). Katsina State committed ₦4bn in counterpart funding. It followed an MoU signed during Tinubu's January 2026 Turkey visit on family cohesion and social welfare. Tinubu: 'A nation that relegates its women is a nation bound for implosion.'
The counter-argument
This is a declaration and a set of targets, not yet a delivery record. Treat targets as targets.
