President Bola Tinubu arrived in Abu Dhabi on Sunday night to attend the 2026 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW).

His aircraft touched down at Zayed International Airport’s presidential wing at 11:30 p.m. local time, where he was received by UAE Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Sheikh Shakhboot Nahyan Al Nahyan and Ambassador Salem Saeed Al-Shamsi.

According to a statement from presidential spokesperson Bayo Onanuga, this year’s summit—themed “The Nexus of Next, All Systems Go”—will center on climate action, sustainable development, and the global energy transition.

Also at the airport were Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and members of the Nigerian diplomatic mission in Abu Dhabi.
