Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited has unveiled the newly completed Isoko Youth House (Fred Obe Secretariat) in Ozoro, Delta State, reaffirming its broader mission to drive peace, opportunity, and empowerment across the Niger Delta.
The commissioning ceremony, on Saturday, marked more than the opening of a building, it was a symbolic consolidation of the company’s expanding role in community development beyond its federal mandate of securing oil infrastructure.
Representing Tantita’s Chairman, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, the company’s Managing Director, High Chief Keston Pondi, declared that Tantita’s vision now fully embraces the empowerment of youths and support for local aspirations.
During the unveiling along the Ozoro/Kwale Road, directly opposite Southern Delta University. Pondi reiterated that Tantita’s work is no longer limited to pipeline surveillance, but now includes a social investment in unity and long-term peace across oil-producing communities.
Delta State’s Commissioner for Youths, Hon. ThankGod Harry Frakriowei, who represented Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, described the edifice as “a symbol of hope, opportunity, and progress,” noting that its ICT-equipped facilities will serve as a training ground for youths and a launchpad for digital innovation, aligning squarely with the administration’s MORE agenda on youth development.
For the Isoko National Youths Assembly Worldwide, the moment was historic. President Comrade Eniwake Orogun called the youth house a “lasting legacy of our collective struggle,” naming the building after Chief Fred Obe, a foundational figure in the Niger Delta’s agitation for equity and justice.
Comrade Orogun offered heartfelt thanks to Chief Pondi and the Tantita team for the critical support that saw the project to completion. He also acknowledged Hon. Jonathan Ukodhiko for his contributions.
Valued at over ₦200 million, the facility is fully equipped to serve as a hub for leadership grooming, digital training, and youth empowerment initiatives. Guests and youth leaders present at the event were urged to protect and maintain the centre as a shared legacy that belongs to the next generation.
As Tantita continues to redefine the boundaries of corporate social responsibility in the Niger Delta, the Isoko Youth House stands as a monument not only to promises kept but to the untapped potential of a region yearning for transformation, one empowered youth at a time.
