Tinubu stopped in Abu Dhabi on his way from G20 summit in India, where he wooed investors to Nigeria.
Last month Tinubu said he wanted an immediate resolution to the disagreements with Emirates Airlines and visa issues by the Arab country.
The UAE stopped issuing visas to Nigerians last year after Dubai's Emirates suspended flights due to an inability to repatriate funds from Nigeria.
