President Bola Tinubu has arrived in Nairobi to participate in the 2026 Africa Forward Summit, a high-level conference bringing together African leaders, policymakers and global investors to discuss the continent’s economic future.

The summit, co-hosted by William Ruto and Emmanuel Macron, is expected to focus on key areas including industrialisation, environmental sustainability, digital innovation and economic transformation across Africa.



World leaders and business executives attending the event are also expected to deliberate on investment opportunities, climate initiatives and strategies aimed at strengthening cooperation between African nations and international partners.

President Tinubu’s participation comes as Nigeria continues efforts to attract foreign investment and deepen economic partnerships within Africa and beyond.

After the Nairobi summit, the Nigerian leader is scheduled to travel to Kigali for the 2026 Africa CEO Forum taking place on May 14 and 15.

The forum will bring together top African business leaders, government officials and investors to discuss policies and private sector initiatives targeted at accelerating growth and development across the continent.
