President returns to Abuja from COP28 outing in Dubai

President Bola Tinubu has returned to Abuja after a six-day outing in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he participated in the ongoing United Nations Climate Change Conference (CoP28) and some other sidelines engagements.

The President, who departed Nigeria last Wednesday, returned to the country through the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja around 6:45 p.m last night.

While in Dubai, he witnessed the signing of an accelerated performance agreement aimed at expediting the implementation of the 12,000 megawatts (MW) Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) on Friday to improve electricity supply in Nigeria.

On Saturday, he joined a panel on African Green Industrialisation, which was organised by the CoP28 Presidency and the President of the United Arab Emirates, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, telling global leaders that risk management is vital for Africa’s full and swift transition to cleaner energy.
