President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to return to Nigeria today, Saturday, following his participation, alongside some cabinet members, in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026).
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, Nigeria used the opportunity of the summit to sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The agreement is designed to strengthen economic ties between both countries by expanding trade and investment, promoting technology transfer, and increasing cooperation in critical sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and renewable energy.
While addressing participants at the summit, President Tinubu announced plans to host a joint Nigeria–UAE INVESTOPIA in Lagos in February, aimed at drawing global investors to the country.
He also revealed that Nigeria is targeting the mobilisation of up to $30 billion each year in climate and green industrial financing as part of ongoing energy transition reforms and efforts to improve electricity supply nationwide.
