Tinubu returns to Abuja after COP28 Summit
After staying almost a week in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates attending the 28th United Nations Climate Change Conference, President Bola Tinubu returned to Abuja on Tuesday.
The president’s aircraft touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in the evening of Tuesday, three days after an army aircraft bombed 85 villagers to death in a Kaduna village, leaving dozens of others injured.
Tinubu’s participation at the conference also provided opportunity for bilateral talks with King Charles of England, the President of UAE, and leaders of several countries and multilateral partners where they concretized engagements of mutual benefits.

According to a Channels TV report, President Tinubu also witnessed the signing of an accelerated performance agreement between Nigeria and Germany to improve Nigeria’s electricity supply and hosted a high-level meeting with stakeholders and investors on the Nigeria Carbon Market and the Electric Buses Rollout Programme on the margins of the COP28 climate summit.
Tinubu had on November 29, 2023, departed Abuja for Dubai for the summit expected to end on December 12, 2023.
The Tinubu-led government was under fire for 1,411 Nigerian registered delegates at the summit, a figure considered as bloated by many critics, though the government said it only funded 422 persons to the summit.
