<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nTantita was contracted by the Federal Government to monitor the oil pipelines in the Niger Delta axis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking during the visit, Audi said, \u201cNo security service has a monopoly of any strategy as far as curbing crude oil theft menace is concerned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He paid glowing tribute to the TSSNL, noting that with its collaboration, the level of the nation\u2019s crude oil production capacity had improved tremendously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEven though Tantita is not the only private security company engaged by the Federal Government for oil pipeline security surveillance activities, Tantita is doing very well as far as I am concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe NSCDC will continue to collaborate with Tantita in safeguarding government assets in the Niger Delta region,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the purpose of his visit was to cement the relationship between the civil defence and Tantita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cCollaboration is very very central. We will continue to collaborate with Tantita because our primary objective is to minimise or completely eliminate the menace of crude oil theft.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The NSCDC CG further said, \u201cTantita is one of the major stakeholders collaborating with the Joint Security Services as far as the provision of security and safety of pipelines is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have now seen that no service has a monopoly of any strategy as far as curbing this (crude oil theft) menace is concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhether we like it or not, as of today, the mainstay of Nigeria\u2019s economy is still oil. It is going to be our collective decision to come together to protect the precious gift God has given us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He assured Tantita of the support of the civil defence and collaboration to ensure success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are not alone in this business. We have other companies. But I have to tell you that Tantita is doing very well as far as I am concerned because our staff are with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are collaborating with you. And you are also doing your best in the area of the welfare of the staff. We have been getting information that they are being taken care of,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a welcome address, the Managing Director of TSSNL, Chief Kestin Bondi, highlighted the impact of the company\u2019s security operations in curbing oil theft and environmental degradation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said apart from the significant improvement in crude oil production, there was presently the restoration of aquatic life in the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs of today, we have surpassed two million barrels per day in crude oil production,\u201d he stated, adding that \u201cour waters are now very clean, and our people can fish again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added, \u201cBefore now if you threw bread into the river, you would hardly see any fish eating it. But today, thanks to Tantita Security Services, the fish are back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bondi lauded President Bola Tinubu\u2019s administration for providing a level playing field for private security firms assisting in the fight against oil theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen you give someone a job, another thing is to ensure fairness. We must appreciate the government for allowing us to operate effectively,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
