Nigeria Launches MyCityApp to Boost Tourism and Business

The Federal Government of Nigeria, represented by Minister of Art, Culture, and Tourism, Hannatu Musa Musawa, launched MyCityApp on Thursday at the Shehu Musa Yar'Adua Centre. This digital platform is designed to transform urban experiences, boost tourism, and empower businesses by allowing users to discover verified businesses, access essential city services, and stay updated on events and trends.

The app aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renew Hope Agenda, prioritizing digital innovation, job creation, and youth empowerment. MyCityApp aims to promote civic engagement and enhance tourism by providing a unified data system for citizens to connect with government services, even offline.

The initiative targets five million registered users and aims for 40-50 daily active users. The success of the app will be measured not just by downloads but by its impact on local businesses.

The app is part of a broader vision to ensure that Nigeria's cities are not left behind in the digital age.
