On the sidelines of the summit, Nigeria signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the United Arab Emirates. The agreement is designed to deepen economic cooperation, boost bilateral trade and investment, and enhance technology transfer between both countries.
The partnership will also expand collaboration across strategic sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and renewable energy.
In his address at the summit, Tinubu announced that Nigeria and the UAE will jointly host INVESTOPIA in Lagos in February. The initiative is aimed at attracting global investors and accelerating sustainable investment inflows into Nigeria.
