Read the passage below carefully:

Established in 1978, Kainji Lake National Park is one of Nigeria's premier conservation areas, spanning across Niger and Kwara States. The park covers an area of approximately 5,340 square kilometres and comprises two distinct non-contiguous sectors: the Borgu Game Reserve to the west of Lake Kainji and the Zugurma Game Reserve to the southeast. While the Borgu sector benefits from well-developed tracks and safari infrastructure for wildlife viewing, the Zugurma sector lacks developed access roads and suffers from frequent illegal encroachment. The park was primarily formed by merging these two pre-existing game reserves to safeguard the watershed of Lake Kainji and preserve indigenous West African savannah flora and fauna.

Statement: The Zugurma sector of Kainji Lake National Park possesses better developed safari infrastructure than the Borgu sector.
