President Bola Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria after participating, alongside members of his cabinet, in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW2026).
This was disclosed in a statement issued on Friday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a move aimed at strengthening economic ties between the two countries.
According to the statement, the agreement is designed to deepen economic cooperation, boost bilateral trade and investment, promote technology transfer, and expand collaboration across key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining and renewable energy.
During his address at the summit, President Tinubu announced that Nigeria and the UAE will jointly host an INVESTOPIA forum in Lagos in February.
The initiative is expected to attract global investors and position Nigeria as a key destination for sustainable and long-term investments.
The President also told participants that Nigeria is targeting the mobilisation of up to $30 billion annually in climate and green industrial finance.
