The MoU aligns with the recently signed UAE–Nigeria Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which aims to reduce tariffs, remove trade barriers, and boost bilateral investment. With UAE–Nigeria non-oil trade reaching US$4.3 billion in 2024 and Nigeria’s GDP growth projected to accelerate in 2026, the partnership signals a new chapter of deeper trade, investment, and long-term cooperation between the two nations.
