President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been urged to renew the oil pipelines surveillance contract with Tantita Security Services Limited with a view to sustain maximum crude oil production as well as ensure a clean environment in the Niger Delta region.
This call was made by Deacon Kingsley Otuaro the immediate past Deputy Governor of Delta State in a statement made available to areanewsng.com in Warri, he said that the security company has made giant strides in collaboration with Government Security Agencies (GSA) to bring criminal acts of economic sabotage of the nation’s economy to the barest minimum as well as protect Government Critical assets in the once volatile Niger Delta.
The immediate past Deputy Governor of Delta State noted that the activities of alleged economic saboteurs in vandalizing pipelines, well heads and other critical assets and the attendant near collapse of aquatic life in the oil rich region has been reduced by the coordinated fight against the criminals which in turn leads to increased crude oil production per day.
According to Deacon Otuaro, “Tantita Security Services Limited assumes a pivotal role in safeguarding the nation’s critical oil and gas assets while combating the scourge of crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism in the volatile Niger Delta region.”
The immediate past Deputy Governor of Delta State implored President Tinubu to critically look into the significance of upholding the existing partnership with Tantita Security Services Ltd, a firm purportedly owned by Chief Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo saying that the partnership has been beneficial to the Federal Government as governments’ revenue has gone up from crude oil sales.
He added, “our national and sub-national governments’ fiscal foundations have invariably rested upon the tripod of revenue from crude oil and gas sales, tax receipts intricately linked to oil and gas subsidiary investments, and both external and internal borrowings.”
The immediate past Deputy Governor of Delta State was of the opinion that Tompolo’s background of being an indigene of Okerenkoko and Obotobo in Delta State makes him well suited to handle the job of securing the pipelines, adding that “is why the Company has been achieving breakthroughs and positive results in policing oil pipelines in the region.”
Deacon Otuaro spoke further, “hailing from the oil-rich communities of Okerenkoko and Obotobo in Delta State, Tompolo possesses an intimate comprehension of the tribulations posed by crude oil theft and vandalism. He is endowed with the competence and profound requisite insight to tackle the intricacies and sophistication characterizing the syndicated criminal activities of oil theft, oil asset vandalism and the mitigation of environmental despoliation in the region, Tantita Security Services Limited is indeed a perfect fit.”
