President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria after participating in the 2026 Abu Dhabi sustainability summit.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said in a statement on Saturday that Tinubu attended the summit alongside some members of the federal executive council.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu returns to Nigeria today after he and some of his ministers participated in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW2026),” the statement reads.
“On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
“The agreement aims to deepen economic cooperation, boost bilateral trade and investment, enhance technology transfer, and expand collaboration across key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and renewable energy.
“In his address, President Tinubu announced that a joint Nigeria–United Arab Emirates (UAE) INVESTOPIA will be held in Lagos in February, an initiative aimed at attracting global investors.
“Tinubu also told the summit that Nigeria aims to mobilise up to $30 billion annually in climate and green industrial finance as it accelerates energy transition reforms and expands nationwide electricity access.”
Recall that Naijaonpoint reported that the president departed Nigeria for Paris on December 28, 2025, for the remaining portion of his annual leave.
He subsequently travelled to Abu Dhabi for the annual summit held from January 11 to 15, marking his second consecutive attendance after participating in the same event in 2025.
