Nigeria Launches Ember to Remember 2026 Tourism Platform

The Federal Government of Nigeria has announced the launch of a national digital platform named Ember to Remember 2026, aimed at showcasing tourism events nationwide. This initiative, developed by the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy in collaboration with MyCityApp Nigeria, seeks to transform the September-to-December festive period into a coordinated national tourism season.

Minister Hannatu Musawa stated that the platform will address the lack of coordination and visibility of Nigeria's cultural and tourism experiences. It will feature a National Digital Events and Experiences Calendar, allowing users to discover various activities across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

The official unveiling is scheduled for September 14, 2026, in Lagos. Ifeoma Mbonu, CEO of MyCityApp, emphasized the economic benefits of connecting visitors to local experiences, which can stimulate job creation and support businesses in the tourism sector.
