UAE Is Main Tourist Destination For Nigerians – Osinbajo

Nigeria’s Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, has said the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a main tourist destination for Nigerians, including those seeking medical treatment and investment.

Osibanjo said this while inaugurating the Emirati-Nigerian Art and Culture Exhibition at the Mike Adenuga Centre in Lagos, organised by the UAE Embassy in Abuja.

On his part, UAE’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Fahad Obaid Al Taffaq, who accompanied Osinbajo to the event, said the exhibition represents the early stages of cooperation between both country’s creative industries.

During the event, a short film was presented on the UAE’s preparations to host the Expo 2020 Dubai, and the UAE Embassy presented Osinbajo with an artwork by Emirati artist Hussain Al Hashemi with the Vice President’s name written in Arabic calligraphy.

The exhibition was attended by numerous diplomats and members of the Nigerian parliament, as well as artists, intellectuals, and business leaders.
