President Bola Tinubu will fly out of Nigeria to the United Arab Emirates on Saturday according to a statement released by his media aide Bayo Onanuga.
The president returned from Ghana only few days ago where he had gone to take part in the inauguration of new Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama. The Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi had asked Tinubu to spend more time in Nigeria and reduce his travelling abroad.
According to the statement released by Onanuga, the president would be at Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital to participate in the 2025 edition of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW 2025).
Onanuga added that the UAE leader Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, specifically invited President Tinubu to attend the Summit.
The event is expected to take place in the emirate from Sunday, January 12 to Saturday, January 18.
However, Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria on Thursday, January 16.
