Conservator General of the National Park Service, Ibrahim Goni, who spoke Wednesday while receiving two Land Cruiser trucks from African Nature Investors at the headquarters of the service in Abuja, urged the private sector to key into the initiative.The Nigerian government has said it is set to partially privatise three of its national parks as part of efforts to optimise the conservation of the biodiversity in the protected areas and turn them into top tourist destinations.
Goni said, “The Bureau of Public Enterprises is currently working with the National Park Service for the partial commercialisation of three of our national parks. According to Daily Trust, he added that the commercialisation would tackle encroachment by host communities as the investors would improve the livelihoods of the communities’ residents.
