Itsekiri communities Coordinator of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited have appreciated.President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the extension of the pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tantita.
According to the Itsekiri Coordinators the action of President Tinubu demonstrates the administration’s commitment to continuity, efficiency, and the protection of the nation’s critical oil and gas infrastructure.
the Itsekiri Coordinators of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, strongly and unequivocally condemn the actions of certain individuals parading themselves as leaders of the Niger Delta, while calling for the revocation of the Tantita pipeline surveillance contract.
They revealed that those agitators do not represent the interests of the people but are driven by selfish motives and personal gain that their actions are not in the interest of peace, development, or stability in the Niger Delta, but are instead calculated attempts to create confusion and reintroduce disorder for their own benefit.
The Tantita Itsekiri Coordinators in their statement released Wednesday April 1 read thus:
“Furthermore, it is important to clearly state that what these agitators are calling for is already embedded within the existing Tantita operational structure. The company has put in place a comprehensive, inclusive framework where every community and ethnic nationality across the Niger Delta is duly represented. Community-based individuals have already been appointed as coordinators and contracts has been awarded to community based contractors to oversee operations, ensure effective supervision, and maintain accountability within their respective regions. This demonstrates that inclusivity, representation, and grassroots participation are already fully operational within the Tantita system.
“Again, Tantita’s operations have brought significant improvements to security and environmental stability across the Niger Delta waterways. The company has effectively eradicated incidents of kidnapping and unrest in the region’s waters, while also contributing to the revival and promotion of aquatic life through the protection of the ecosystem.
“As Itsekiris, we are proud to affirm that we are well represented within this structure. We, the coordinators, are duly appointed representatives from various oil-producing and pipeline-hosting communities. Our inclusion reflects fairness, inclusivity, and a recognition of the critical role our communities play in national development.
“We strongly condemn any calls for the decentralization or cancellation of the Tantita contract. Such agitations are not only misguided but are deliberate attempts to destabilize the peace currently enjoyed in the Niger Delta region. it is important to note that many of those behind these calls are individuals previously involved in pipeline vandalism and illegal bunkering activities, who have been effectively curtailed by Tantita’s operations. Their intentions are self-serving and aimed at creating loopholes to resume criminal activities.
“Let it be clearly stated that the pipeline surveillance contract is not a regional entitlement or “Niger Delta slot,” but a responsibility entrusted by the Federal Government to a competent and capable organization. Tantita has earned this trust through performance, discipline, and results.
“We therefore advise those agitating against this contract to channel their energies into more productive ventures. There are numerous legitimate opportunities and contracts available at the federal level for individuals and groups willing to engage lawfully and competitively, rather than attempting to discredit or disrupt a system that is already delivering results.
“In conclusion, we reaffirm our unwavering support for Tantita Security Services and its leadership. We remain committed to ensuring the continued protection of Nigeria’s oil and gas assets and sustaining peace, environmental stability, and development in our communities and the Niger Delta at large”
