Abuja: President Bola Tinubu has returned to Nigeria following his participation in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, where global leaders gathered to discuss clean energy and climate resilience.
Presidential spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a statement issued on Saturday in Abuja.
The president attended the summit alongside some members of his cabinet.
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, and enhance technology transfer.
It will also expand collaboration in key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and renewable energy.
In his address at the summit, Tinubu announced that Nigeria and the UAE would jointly host INVESTOPIA in Lagos in February.
The initiative is designed to attract global investors and accelerate sustainable investment inflows into Nigeria.
Tinubu also said Nigeria aims to mobilise up to $30 billion annually in climate and green industrial finance.
He said the funds would support energy transition reforms and expand nationwide access to electricity.
