With great enthusiasm of what lies in stock in terms of game viewing and attractions i prepared for my journey to old Oyo National park,only to be met with damning infrastructural and technical management,extending to invisible research work which may probably enable the RE-introduction of unavailable animals to the park,animals like Elephant,Lion and much more,which formerly grace the vast area of the park.On getting to Igbeti range which boast of Oyo-ile[relics of Old Oyo empire dating to the reign of Alafin Sango]we had to fuel the park's patrol vehicle to convey us, all this problems generating from inadequate funding of what may turn out to be a gold mine to buttress Nigeria's GDP. And political influence in selection of Directors in all levels of the park management up to the post of conservator general, case of an Accounting/Finance graduate with the post of a CP,highly ludicrous!! perhaps he his required to conserve money in place of flora&fauna.Nigerian government and Nigeria as a nation should wake up from her slumber,and revitalize a sector some other countries cherish.
