The Rivers State Government says it has commenced the process of upgrading the Port Harcourt Zoo into a cultural village.
Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Mrs Tonye Briggs Oniyide disclosed this while handing over the rehabilitation and upgrading of facilities at the Zoo to a contracting firm, D19th Architect Limited.
She said all dilapidated structures would be rehabilitated and upgraded, while more animals will be purchased for the Zoo.
The commissioner also warned against further encroachment on the Zoo, residents stressing that effort will be made to secure the perimeter fencing of the Zoo.
She directed the contractors to commence work immediately, adding that the contract must not last more than four months.
Earlier, while inspecting facilities at the Zoo, Oniyide urged its manager to ensure that illegal occupants no longer did not continue to use facilities belonging to the government.

He said the firm has been given the mandate to renovate the administrative block, the Museum staff quarters, kitchen used in preparation of food for animals and the fence.
