Tinubu arrives Nigeria after Abu Dhabi Summit
President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Saturday after attending the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week alongside some members of his cabinet.
On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with the United Arab Emirates.
The agreement is designed to strengthen economic ties between both countries, increase trade and investment, support technology transfer and widen cooperation in critical areas such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining and renewable energy.
Officials said the deal reflects Nigeria’s push to attract foreign investment and build stronger partnerships that can support sustainable development and economic growth.
In his address, President Tinubu announced that a joint Nigeria-United Arab Emirates (UAE) INVESTOPIA would be held in Lagos in February, an initiative aimed at attracting global investors.
President 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.
