| dc.description | A press graphic posted to X (Twitter) by the official Federal Ministry of Art, Culture, Tourism & The Creative Economy account (@Fmactce_Nigeria). The post details how Cross River State offers one of Nigeria's most complete tourism propositions, noting that the Calabar Carnival is Africa's largest street carnival by participation and the Cross River National Park is one of West Africa's key biodiversity reserves. It highlights that together with neighboring Uyo, Calabar provides destination-level leisure—including carnivals, waterfront developments, and family recreation—that compares favorably to internationally visible African leisure destinations, noting that its main challenges lie in visibility and air connectivity rather than the product itself. The graphic features side-by-side images of a carnival performer and a nature forest river scene. Engagement at time of capture: 0 replies, 5 reposts, 14 likes, 498 views. | |
