Nigeria will co-host Investopia with the United Arab Emirates in Lagos in February 2026, President Bola Tinubu has announced, marking a significant milestone in the deepening economic partnership between the two nations.
About Investopia
Investopia is a UAE-led initiative aimed at promoting investment and fostering economic partnerships globally. The decision to co-host the summit in Lagos reflects Nigeria growing importance as an investment destination and gateway to African markets.
Expected Outcomes
The summit is expected to attract high-level delegations from across the Gulf region, Europe, and other parts of Africa. Key focus areas will include infrastructure financing, technology investment, agriculture, and sustainable development projects.
Building on CEPA
The Investopia co-hosting announcement comes on the heels of the Nigeria-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which eliminated tariffs on thousands of products and created new pathways for business mobility between the two countries.
