  "summary": "The Federal Government of Nigeria has unveiled plans for a digital platform called Ember to Remember 2026, aimed at showcasing tourism events nationwide. The initiative, developed by the Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy in partnership with MyCityApp Nigeria, seeks to transform the country's September-to-December festive period into a coordinated national tourism season. The platform, anchored by a National Digital Events and Experiences Calendar, will provide a single platform for Nigerians, diaspora, and international tourists to discover festivals, concerts, cultural celebrations, hospitality businesses, and other tourism experiences across the country's 36 states and Federal Capital Territory. The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism and the Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, emphasized the need for a coordinated structure to bring these experiences together, provide visibility, and market them as a powerful national story, highlighting Nigeria's cultural wealth and potential in the global tourism market.",
