President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday returned to Nigeria today after participating in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW2026).
Tinubu had left Nigeria on Sunday, December 28, 2025 through Lagos for an unnamed European nation.
Presidential Spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, said the European trip comes “ahead of his official trip to Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates.”
Later, The Presidency circulated a controversial picture of President Tinubu in a meeting with Rwandan President, Paul Kegame.
In a statement on Saturday announcing the President’s return, Onanuga said that “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.
“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.”
