President Bola Ahmed Tinubu resumed work at the Aso Villa on Monday, January 20, after his participation in the 2025 Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) in the United Arab Emirates.
Tinubu, who returned to Abuja on Saturday evening, immediately got back to work with a series of high-profile meetings.
Upon his return, Tinubu received a briefing from the Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Zach Adedeji.
He later held separate meetings with Kogi State Governor, Usman Ododo, and House of Representatives member, James Faleke.
At the Abu Dhabi summit, which brought together over 3,500 global delegates under the theme “The Nexus of Next; Supercharging Sustainable Progress,” Tinubu emphasized Nigeria’s commitment to combating climate change.
The President highlighted Nigeria’s progress in renewable energy and policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions.
“Nigeria is prepared to partner with other nations for a sustainable future,” Tinubu stated, urging international collaboration to address deforestation, flooding, and other environmental challenges.
On the sidelines of the event, Tinubu met with Rwandan President Paul Kagame to discuss enhancing intra-African trade and cooperation.
The two leaders explored Africa’s potential for self-development, focusing on leveraging the continent’s vast resources and skilled workforce.
During the Zayed Sustainability Prize Awards Ceremony, Tinubu applauded two Nigerian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for their innovative contributions to sustainability.
