BUA Group has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with UAE-based AD Ports Group and MAIR Group in Abu Dhabi, in a deal aimed at strengthening industrial development, trade, and logistics between West Africa, the Gulf, and Asia.

The agreement follows last month’s signing of the Nigeria–UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which was signed under the invitation of UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Officials say the MoU represents a tangible outcome of renewed Nigeria–UAE engagement and growing economic cooperation.

The partnership will focus on sugar refining, agro-industrial development, and integrated logistics solutions. Plans include the development of sugar refining and advanced logistics infrastructure at Khalifa Ports in the UAE to improve food security, value addition, and supply chain resilience.
