…Urges Support for Nigeria National Parks

The Conservator-General of National Park Service, Dr. Ibrahim Goni has felicitated with Nigerians on the occasion of Christmas celebration.

In a statement signed by the Service Public Relations Officer, CP Emmanuel Ntuyang, Dr Goni used the occasion to thank Nigerians for their enormous goodwill and support to the Park Service, especially as the world is challenged by a lot of environmental improvidences, such as climate change, species’ loss, deforestation, draught etc.

He further urged Nigerians and foreigners alike to take advantage of the season to visit Nigeria National Parks.

He, however, appealed “to Nigerians to continue to show commitment to the conservation, protection and preservation of the county’s natural heritage, especially as found in our National Parks; remarking that the protection of these important national assets have direct bearing with the quality of our life as a nation.”

The Park Service boss therefore advised Nigerians to “avoid activities that are inimical to the environment, such as unguided and indiscriminate bush burning, deforestation,etc this season,as this has debilitating consequences, even beyond the season.”

The Conservator-General further wished Christians a reflective and peaceful Christmas celebration.

He reminded Christians of the central message of the celebration which is the birth of Christ and its implications to our harmonious and peaceful coexistence as people of diverse faith.
