Abia State Governor Alex Otti approves plans for what would be Nigeria’s first national park in the South-East, to be located in Abia State, and says the state will provide full support for the project.
Both reports describe Otti’s endorsement as formal backing for the initiative and indicate that next steps involve identifying the appropriate site. Vanguard adds that the governor directs officials to identify a suitable forest reserve for the park. The Punch frames the move as strong support for the establishment of the first South-East national park, but offers fewer details on the procedural steps.
Overall, the outlets agree on the governor’s approval and the intended location in Abia, while differing slightly on emphasis—one highlights the endorsement and support, and the other specifies the involvement of the National Park Service and the task of locating a forest reserve.
