The Federal Government has unveiled plans for a national digital platform that will enable Nigerians, members of the diaspora and international tourists to discover festivals, concerts, cultural celebrations, hospitality businesses and other tourism experiences across the country’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
The initiative, known as Ember to Remember 2026, is being developed by the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy in partnership with MyCityApp Nigeria as part of efforts to transform Nigeria’s September-to-December festive period into a coordinated national tourism season.
The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, disclosed this in a statement released on Thursday, saying the initiative was designed to address the lack of coordination and visibility around Nigeria’s numerous cultural and tourism experiences.
According to Musawa, the initiative will be anchored by a National Digital Events and Experiences Calendar, which will provide a single platform for discovering tourism and entertainment activities across the country.
