President Bola Tinubu has voiced Nigeria's unwavering support for the United Arab Emirates amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. In a strong statement, the President unequivocally condemned the attacks on the UAE's civilian and economic infrastructure, reaffirming Nigeria's commitment to global peace and stability.

Tinubu's solidarity extends to his counterpart, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and the measures being taken to protect the UAE's populace and vital assets. This stance underscores Nigeria's position as a proponent of international security and a reliable partner to nations facing external aggression.

Nigeria is for global peace and stability and for its friends and partners anywhere.

The President's message highlights the gravity of the situation, where Iranian missile and drone strikes have targeted the Gulf nation. Nigeria's clear denunciation of such acts sends a powerful message against the violation of civilian lives and critical infrastructure, reinforcing the importance of diplomatic solutions and de-escalation in the region.

“

I am particularly concerned by the attacks on UAE’s civilian and economic infrastructure. I reaffirm my support and solidarity to the President of UAE and the measures he took to safeguard civilian populations and critical infrastructure.
