President Bola Tinubu on Sunday, December 28, 2025, departed Lagos for Europe.
A statement from his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr Bayo Onanuga, disclosed that the trip to an unspecified country in Europe is in continuation of his end-of-year break.
A few days ago, Mr Tinubu left the seat of power in the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja, to observe Christmas in Lagos.
He has now left the nation’s commercial nerve to Europe ahead of an official trip to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
According to Mr Onanuga, the President is travelling to the Middle East on the invitation of his counterpart in the UAE, Mr Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for the 2026 edition of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026) Summit, which will take place in the emirate early in January.
The weeklong summit is an annual event that mobilises leaders from government, business, and society to chart the next era of sustainable development.
With the theme The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go, ADSW will connect ambition with action across innovation, finance, and people, showcasing how the world can move forward with confidence.
