Speaking weekend while on a working-visit to the head office of the National Park Service in Abuja, Mrs. Odusote said this would pave the way as part of Federal Government’s robust measures at diversifying the nation's economy.
The National Park Service is an agency under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Environment.
The PermSec highlighted the need for government to look inward and seek ways to harness alternative sources of revenue generation outside oil to fund its programmes and policies.
“With the right environment, the agency has a huge opportunity to assist the government to boost its IGR, especially now that oil prices have dropped significantly and there are some indications that it may drop further,” she said.
She also said that with an enabling environment, the National Park can help boost recreational activities, tourism, create jobs and massive wealth.
“Given the huge socio-economic benefits of National Parks worldwide, the Environment Ministry would do everything within its reach to collaborate with critical stakeholders to translocate animals that have either gone extinct or at the verge of extinction. This will help to attract tourism. As one of the most viable ministries in terms of revenue generation, we remain committed to helping the Federal Government boost its revenue source,” she said.

Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel. And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes: And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
