President Bola Tinubu has arrived in the United Arab Emirates ahead of the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week summit. The president touched down at about 11 p.m. local time and was received by the UAE Minister of Foreign Affairs. His Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said Tinubu is attending the summit at the invitation of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Onanuga said the annual forum brings together global leaders from government and business to discuss sustainable development. This year’s summit is themed “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go.” Tinubu, who left Nigeria on December 28 for an end-of-year break in Europe, is expected to return after the week-long event.
