President Bola Tinubu left Lagos on Sunday for Europe as part of his end-of-year break, ahead of an official visit to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
He is set to participate in the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week Summit, following an invitation from UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The summit, scheduled for early January, will gather leaders from government, business, and civil society to discuss sustainable development.
According to a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the weeklong event will focus on the theme, “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go,” emphasizing the connection between innovation, finance, and people to promote sustainable growth.
President Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria after the summit. His trip follows recent official visits to Borno and Bauchi states and a brief stay in Lagos for the holidays.
Upon arrival in Lagos, he was welcomed at the presidential wing of Murtala Muhammed International Airport by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, government officials, and leaders of the All Progressives Congress.
Why is President Bola Tinubu going to Europe before the Abu Dhabi summit? Is there a specific reason or just coincidence? Interesting move.
Why does Tinubu always travel abroad for these summits? Shouldnt he focus on issues at home first? Just a thought.
Why is Tinubu attending a sustainability summit in Europe when there are urgent issues in Nigeria to address? Priorities, anyone?
I find it odd that Tinubu is attending a sustainability summit in Europe instead of focusing on issues at home.
I wonder if Tinubus trip to Europe will actually bring any sustainable development to Nigeria. Hope hes not just sightseeing!
Do you think Tinubus trip to Europe is necessary for the Abu Dhabi summit or just a vacation in disguise? 🤔
I wonder if Tinubus trip to Europe is really necessary for the Abu Dhabi summit. Seems like a detour.
