President Bola Tinubu on Sunday arrived in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, to attend the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
The President’s aircraft touched down at Zayed International Airport at approximately 11:30 pm local time, where he was received by Sheikh Shakhboot Nahyan Al Nahyan, Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Tinubu is visiting the UAE at the official invitation of the UAE President, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The annual summit serves as a global forum for world leaders, industry experts, and civil society organisations to address critical issues regarding energy innovation and the financial infrastructure required for renewable energy transitions.
According to an earlier statement by Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the visit underscores the strengthening alliance between Nigeria and the UAE, particularly in green energy and economic cooperation.
It was said during the summit that President Tinubu will aim to position Nigeria as a leading player in sustainable development, seeking to attract foreign investment and foster partnerships that align with the country’s national growth objectives.
The 2026 edition, themed “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go,” focuses on bridging the gap between climate ambition and tangible action through three primary pillars: innovation, finance, and people.
