NewsOnline Nigeria reports that President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria on Saturday after participating, alongside some cabinet members, in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026).
On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a move aimed at strengthening economic ties between both countries.
The agreement is designed to deepen economic cooperation, boost bilateral trade and investment, enhance technology transfer, and expand collaboration in key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining and renewable energy.
Addressing participants at the summit, President Tinubu announced that a joint Nigeria–UAE INVESTOPIA forum will be held in Lagos in February. The initiative is expected to attract global investors and unlock new investment opportunities in Nigeria.
The President also disclosed that Nigeria plans to mobilise up to $30 billion annually in climate and green industrial financing as the country accelerates energy transition reforms and works to expand electricity access nationwide.
