The United Arab Emirates has said that its long-term economic commitments to Nigeria remain intact, citing growing trade volumes, increased investment activity and emerging opportunities in technology and infrastructure.
Speaking on the evolving economic relationship between both countries, UAE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Saeed Bin Mubarak Al Hajeri, said Nigeria has become an increasingly important partner within the UAE’s broader engagement across Africa.
According to him, in an interview made available to The PUNCH, the relationship is being driven by long-term economic priorities rather than short-term global developments.
“The UAE–Nigeria partnership is defined by resilience and a shared vision for growth. We see significant opportunities to deepen cooperation, particularly in infrastructure, logistics, energy, and other sectors that drive long-term economic development,” he said.
