Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Nigeria, marking yet another frequent international trip, including completing the remaining portion of his annual leave in Paris and attending a summit in Abu Dhabi.
Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the president’s return in a statement released on Saturday, titled “President Tinubu Returns to Nigeria After Abu Dhabi Trip.”
Tinubu had earlier departed Nigeria for Paris on Sunday, December 28, 2025, to complete the remaining portion of his annual leave.
On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The agreement is aimed at deepening economic cooperation, boosting bilateral trade and investment, and facilitating technology transfer.
The CEPA will also expand collaboration in key sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and renewable energy.
During his address at the summit, President 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.
He further stated that Nigeria aims to mobilise up to $30 billion annually in climate and green industrial finance, which will support energy transition reforms and expand nationwide access to electricity.
