Tinubu arrives in Abu Dhabi for 2026 Sustainability Summit
President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to attend the 2026 edition of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026).
The president arrived from Europe, where he spent part of his end-of-year break holding discussions with Rwandan President Paul Kagame and French President Emmanuel Macron.
The annual summit, initiated by UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, serves as a global platform for conversations on sustainability and will take place from January 12 to 18.
Tinubu landed at 1:30 pm local time at the presidential wing of Zayed International Airport, where he was received by Shakhboot Nahyan Al Nahyan, UAE minister of state in the ministry of foreign affairs; Nigeria’s minister of foreign affairs, Yusuf Tuggar; and other senior government officials.
This year’s summit is themed “The nexus of next: All systems Go”. World leaders, policymakers and industry experts are expected to gather to accelerate sustainable development and outline new pathways for socioeconomic progress.
In a statement, presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga said the visit underscores the strong diplomatic and economic relations between Nigeria and the UAE, while positioning Nigeria as an active participant in global discussions on sustainable development.
