The Federal Government in Nigeria has introduced a 100-Day Tourism Calendar aimed at harnessing the economic potential of the country's festivals, concerts, cultural events and lifestyle experiences. Powered by MyCityApp and MyLagosApp, the initiative is set to unlock a projected $100 billion tourism and creative economy. The calendar will aggregate these events onto a single digital platform, making it easier for visitors, Nigerians in the diaspora and local consumers to discover and participate in activities across the nation.
The government's Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Dr. Nneka Anibeze, emphasized that the initiative aims to move beyond the traditional concept of the festive season and transform it into a platform for job creation, investment and business opportunities. By connecting tourists, domestic visitors and local consumers with events and experiences, the calendar seeks to maximize the commercial value of the September-to-December festive season, according to the minister.
