President Bola Tinubu has departed Lagos for Europe to continue his end-of-year break, but prior to an annual summit at Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The development was confirmed on Sunday by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, who said President Tinubu left Lagos on December 28 and would proceed from Europe to Abu Dhabi in early January.
Onanuga stated that the President has been invited by Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, to participate in the 2026 edition of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2026).
The weeklong summit is an annual global forum that convenes leaders from government, business and civil society to shape the next phase of sustainable development.
The 2026 edition, themed “The Nexus of Next: All Systems Go,” will focus on translating ambition into concrete action across innovation, finance and people.
