•Tantita leads in giving back to its immediate environment
From Tony Osauzo, Asaba
When Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL) secured the contract to provide security for the vast Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited ( NNPCL) network of crude oil pipelines to check rising oil theft in the Niger Delta, there were criticisms and outcry. Some of these bothered on politicisation of the matter rather than whether TSSNL possessed the capacity to execute the contract.

Years after, Tantita has proved its critics wrong as incidents of crude oil theft have reduced with trickledown effects impacting positively the people, especially youths engaged to execute the contract. This in turn contributed in checking crimes in the region.
Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo a.k.a Tompolo, Chairman, TSSNL and
Chief Kestin Pondi, Managing Director, are using the instrumentality of the security company to give back to the society.
What comes to mind here is an edifice donated to the Ugborikoko Police Division, Bendel Estate, Effurun, Uvwie Local Government, Delta State. Its facilities include quarter guard post, generator house, drainage and a modern hall.
The facilities, also include two hilux vehicles for operational mobility, 30KVA soundproof generator and a 30KVA solar system to ensure uninterrupted power supply, CCTV cameras and computer systems to enhance surveillance and digital operations, television sets, air-conditioning units, fully equipped conference room and interrogation room.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun,
said: “The donation reflects not only a commitment to the well being of the community but also a deep trust in the role the police force plays in maintaining peace, law and order.
“The new police station is not just a place where officers will work but also a place where the people can engage positively with the police, and work together to build a safer and stronger community.”
Pondi responded: “Tantita understands that no society can thrive without peace and security. Peace and security are a result of collaboration between the community and the government. The first line of defence of preserving peace in Nigeria is the Nigeria Police Force.
“The decision to build the police station is a mark of Tantita’s commitment to rebuild the peace in Warri and improve the security of life and property for all resident in Warri, Effurun and environs.
TSSNL recently donated a well-furnished Press Centre to the Warri Correspondents’ Chapel of the state Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ). Commissioning the centre on Eburu Street, Okumagba Layout, Warri, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, said: “Tantita, within its few years of existence, has distinguished itself as an organisation with a clear sense of purpose and understanding of societal realities.
“They are not only committed to their core mandate but also continuously seek ways to contribute meaningfully to the society.” He was represented by Executive Director, Projects), DESOPADEC, Dr Ebenezar Okorodudu.
Chairman of the NUJ Chapel, Victor Okpomor, said: “This initiative is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility to its operational areas, particularly host communities. It will relieve the chapel the burden of annual rent payments which it struggled with for over 30 years of its existence.”
He commended Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, Media Consultant to TSSNL, for his efforts in ensuring the project became a reality, just as he expressed gratitude to Sola Adebayo, a journalist, for his steadfast support of the union.
Tantita also built Isoko Youth Centre, Ozoro, the administrative headquarters of Isoko North Local Government. It underscored TSSNL’s commitment to the economic well-being of the nation and welfare of the people.
