Senate Approves 10 Additional National Parks For Nigeria

On Tuesday, the Senate approved the establishment of 10 new National Parks in Nigeria, citing the need for regulation of the country's unique ecosystem.

Senator Gobir Abdullahi (APC-Sokoto) sponsored the motion on the National Park declaration Order 22, which President Muhammadu Buhari had requested the Senate's concurrence on.

The Order sought to establish 10 additional national parks, including the Alawa National Park in Niger state, Apoi National Park in Bayelsa state, Edumenun National Park in Bayelsa state, Galgore National Park in Kano state, Hadejia Wetland National Park in Jigawa state, Kempe National Park in Kwara state, Kogo National Park in Katsina state, Marhi National Park in Nasarawa state, Oba Hill National Park in Osun state, and Pandam National Park in Plateau state.

These parks were chosen based on feasibility studies and environmental impact assessments conducted in 12 selected forests and game reserves across the country.

The senator emphasized that these new parks would help regulate Nigeria's ecosystem, particularly its fauna and flora ecosystems.

“The establishment will address the fast rate of disappearance and degradation of Nigeria’s forest, achieve and develop adequate tourism infrastructure in line with international best practices,” he said.

Sen. Gobir Abdullahi said the establishments would help protect and preserve the biodiversity and natural heritage of Nigeria.
