The Plateau Government says it will spend two billion naira to restock the 30-years-old Jos Wild Life Park.
The commissioner for Information and Culture, Mr Abraham Yiljap, made the disclosure in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos on Sunday.
Yiljap said the step would address the park’s declining fortunes and patronage following years of neglect of the facility famed to be the largest man-made zoo in Nigeria.
``We want to upgrade the facility to realise its full potential.
``The multiplier effects are massive but we specifically target a situation where every family will seek to visit the Jos Wild Life Park and have a good time,’’ he said.
He described the facility as ``very rich’’, with very rare animals like elephants, lions, hyenas and various species of birds, chimpanzees, baboons and monkeys in their natural habitat.
