This decision comes after a historic agreement between President Bola Tinubu and UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. As a result, both Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines will promptly resume their flight schedules to and from Nigeria.
In this significant agreement, there is no immediate financial burden on the Nigerian government. Instead, it paves the way for substantial investments in Nigeria’s economy across various sectors, including defense and agriculture, by the investment arms of the UAE government. Furthermore, a joint foreign exchange liquidity program has been negotiated between the two nations, with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.
President Tinubu expressed his appreciation for President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s unwavering friendship and commitment to enhancing the relations between these two important countries, aiming for excellence.
