President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, for a brief stopover en route to a two-nation working visit to Japan and Brazil.
The president landed at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, an oil-rich Gulf hub, at around 10:10 p.m. on Friday. His presidential aircraft had departed Abuja’s Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport earlier that day at approximately 11:15 a.m.
According to a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s first major stop will be Yokohama, Japan, where he is scheduled to attend the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) from August 20 to 22.
Themed “Co-create Innovative Solutions with Africa,” the conference aims to explore strategies for driving Africa’s economic transformation, attracting private investment, and building a resilient, sustainable continent anchored on peace and human security.
Following his visit to Japan, Tinubu will proceed to Brazil for the second leg of his working trip.
