The Plateau Government revives Jos Wildlife Park, boosting tourism with upgrades like solar lights, boreholes, and perimeter fencing.

The Plateau Patriotic Front (PPF), a socio-political group, has praised the Plateau State Government for its efforts in reviving the Jos Wildlife Park, describing it as a transformative move for the state’s tourism industry.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, the PPF Chairman, Mr Mani Imman, commended Governor Caleb Mutfwang for prioritising the park’s rehabilitation, which aligns with the administration’s vision to enhance tourism and stimulate the state’s economy.

“The revitalisation of the Jos Wildlife Park is a significant step toward preserving its sanctity while boosting Plateau’s economy.

These efforts reflect the administration’s commitment to making tourism a key economic driver for the state,” Imman stated.

The park, which spans 12 square kilometres, has seen substantial improvements, including the construction of a perimeter fence to secure its boundaries. Governor Mutfwang’s administration has also overseen:

• Renovation and rehabilitation of existing structures.
• Installation of 20 solar-powered lights to enhance safety and visibility.
• Drilling of a borehole with an overhead tank to address water supply issues.
• Laying pipes to ensure adequate water distribution to the park’s ponds.

“The morale of staff has been significantly boosted, and the infrastructure upgrades signal a new era for the park,” Imman added.

As the festive season approaches, Imman urged residents and visitors to explore the revitalised Jos Wildlife Park, noting that its restoration presents an excellent opportunity for recreation and cultural engagement.

The Jos Wildlife Park has long been a symbol of Plateau State’s commitment to preserving biodiversity and showcasing Nigeria’s natural heritage.

With these recent enhancements, the park is poised to reclaim its status as a premier tourist attraction in the region.
