The President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu, has left the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for Nigeria after successfully meeting with his counterpart, President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nayan.

Tinubu left Nigeria to attend the G-20 Summit in New Delhi, India, where he met with world leaders and they discussed bilateral trade relationships.

The President’s last plan was to visit and meet with the President of the UAE.

In a press release by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the stopover served as a follow-up discussion to address issues already initiated by the UAE Ambassador in Abuja.

At UAE, Tinubu was able to address bilateral issues; and investment with private and public authorities in the country.

The two heads of state were able to forge a fruitful discussion; the long Visa ban on Nigerians was lifted, including the restoration of flight activities by the Emirate and Etihad Airlines.
