President Muhammadu Buhari will Sunday depart Abuja for a three-day official visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The President is expected to join the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan of Abu Dhabi and other participants as a special guest of honour at this year’s World Future Energy Summit.
A statement Saturday by the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Garba Shehu said the Summit, which is now in its ninth year, has developed into one of the world’s most influential events dedicated to advancing future energy, energy efficiency and clean technologies.
Garba said: “In a move signalling Nigeria’s reengagement with the Middle-East region, President Buhari will also lead a team of his ministers to bilateral talks with the government of the UAE.”
According to him: “After the talks, a number of agreements between both countries on the economy, trade and bilateral relations are expected to be signed.
“From the visit, Nigeria also expects to get more support from the UAE for its war against terrorism and the recovery of Nigeria’s stolen funds.”
