President Bola Tinubu has departed Lagos for Europe as part of his end-of-year break, ahead of his scheduled official visit to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.

The President left Nigeria on Sunday, December 28, 2025, and is expected to proceed from Europe to Abu Dhabi following an invitation from the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Tinubu will participate in the 2026 edition of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026) Summit, which will hold early in January. The weeklong summit brings together global leaders from government, business and civil society to shape strategies for sustainable development.

This year’s summit is themed “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go” and will focus on linking ambition with action across innovation, finance and people, while showcasing pathways for global progress.

President Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria after the conclusion of the summit.
