President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria following his participation, alongside some ministers, in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW2026).

On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), aimed at strengthening economic cooperation between both countries.

The agreement is expected to boost bilateral trade and investment, promote technology transfer, and expand collaboration in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining and renewable energy.

Speaking at the summit, President Tinubu announced that a joint Nigeria–UAE INVESTOPIA will take place in Lagos in February, as part of efforts to attract global investors to Nigeria.

He also disclosed that Nigeria is targeting the mobilisation of up to 30 billion dollars annually in climate and green industrial finance, as the country accelerates energy transition reforms and works to expand electricity access nationwide.

The president’s participation at ADSW2026 underscores Nigeria’s commitment to sustainable development, investment-driven growth and deeper international partnerships.
