Hmmm this same forest reserve that I was for 10 weeks last year??

Its not a place just anyone can go and have fun oo.

the place is underfunded and almost dead sef. Only destructive logging activities is what's left happening there.

No network, water and electricity again. Even the guest house is left unused

The bamboo groove, water fall and fish lake nko?? all out of it

Bad road and every other infrastructure is spoilt and unreplaced.

Only that bailey bridge crossing over the Omo river is still existing. It leads to the Elephants camp.

However, I enjoyed myself there but trust me you gotta be a forester or environmentalist to persevere and appreciate whats left of the place.

The place remains a natural resources reserve.

Would it be feasible to get private funding? Will the money go to the right place and will the illegal logging stop? I and my friends would love to visit and it would be nice to see the place up and running.

Sad thing is that it took a bunch of oyinbo people braving the difficulties for us to even have these lovely pix.
And we are talking about diversification of the economy meanwhile no roads or proper bridges to allow people access many of our tourist attractions.

The road still far joo. cry cry cry

Fellow Forester (Asogbo), had my industrial Training there in 2012, I strongly concur with you, I think the major problem is that is because it is been run by the Ogun State government, just exploiting the reserve, with lesser funding and regeneration activities. I actually learnt felling and logging process then. I guess you are from FUNAAB.

Hmmm private funding... No body can invest in that place because it'll demand millions of dollars to get back up and running. Only maybe a consortium or International aid body can try such.

I guess for now you and your friends will have to make do with Obudu and other nature parks and reserves around.

Why not start the ball rolling? You have no idea who my friends are, who they can speak to or what they're capable of and he ideas that can be worked on. Most are nature lovers. Who knows if they know how to get aid for this sort of place? And this would hardly be a one day or even 6 months' job, it would take a few years.

So, is the place totally in charge of the state government and will they be willing to let go of some control of it? I have some experience with LASG and govt in Nigeria tends to stubbornly hold onto stuff even when they don't know how to use it.

Is there proper documentation of the wildlife and fauna and flora there? Which institute is attached to it please?

General overhauling of the place is the main thing, they still keep good inventory of the place inclusive of both, flora, fauna and machineries both dead and working, the logging process is one of the major income for the state government, so it might not be released fully to private funding, but anything can happen and I would love to work with your friends.

He wee just be disturbing my mentions anyhow. I hope he's nefa found. He should just stay there and become African Tarzan. Phew! Poor girl though".
