Recall that President Tinubu departed Lagos on December 28 last year for Europe, continuing his end-of-year break and ahead of his official trip to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates.
In a statement, Bayo Onanuga disclosed that the Europe trip is the first leg of the President’s journey, which will later take him to Abu Dhabi.
According to Onanuga, “His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, has invited President Tinubu to participate in the 2026 edition of the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026) Summit, which will take place in the emirate early in January.”
The week-long summit is an annual event that brings together leaders from government, business and society to chart the next era of sustainable development.
“With the theme, ‘The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go,’ ADSW will connect ambition with action across innovation, finance and people, showcasing how the world can move forward with confidence.”
The President is expected to return to the country after the summit.
