Isoko Patriots in Delta State, have passed a resounding vote of confidence in Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), condemning call for the cancellation of its contract.
The group which comprises of President Generals, stakeholders, and coordinators of oil pipeline surveillance in Delta State, made the declaration at a meeting held at Opute Hall, Ozoro, in Isoko North Local Government Area, Delta State.
Chairman of the Isoko PGs Forum and President General of Irri Kingdom Chief Adonis Ubuwere, warned that any attempt to truncate Tantita’s operations would amount to a direct threat to national economic stability and regional security.
He stated that since Tantita, chaired by High Chief Government Ekpemupolo with Chief Kestin Pondi as Managing Director, took over pipeline surveillance operations in 2022, illegal bunkering and oil theft in the Isoko region have virtually disappeared, with significant employment created for local youths.
They further called for the expansion of Tantita’s operational mandate and urged the Federal Government to establish special courts to try oil thieves and their sponsors.
The vote of confidence motion was moved by the President General of Otor-Owhe community, Engr. Atunu Alfred, seconded by Comrade Morisster Idibra, and unanimously adopted by all coordinators, workers, and the entire Isoko nation.
