Renowned Ijaw Elites under the auspices of the Oporoza House, a non-governmental organisation has felicitated His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the entire Nation as the World celebrates the joyous occasion of Christmas 2024 and prepared to usher in the New Year 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ijaw elites further commended and appreciated Tinubu for the re-award of the oil pipeline surveillance contract to Tantita Security Nigeria Limited which was superintendent by High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alia Tompolo as Chairman, citing that Tantita had impact positively on the lives of the people of the Niger Delta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group emphasised, “The Oporoza House Renaissance, a civil society organization with broad range of objectives encompassing economic, social, political, environmental and cultural development, indigenous to the Niger Delta, wishes to felicitate (Mr president) and the entire Nation as the World celebrates the joyous occasion of Christmas 2024 and prepares to usher in the New Year 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This outgoing year has been a challenging one for Nigerians as we are faced with several challenges, particularly regarding the economy and security. However, we appreciate all the efforts and commitments your administration has demonstrated in handling these challenges”, they noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the group, Nigeria’s daily oil production had improved significantly over the last decade (as reported by OPEC) following the award of the pipeline contract to Tantita Security Nigeria Ltd, adding that the security and stability of the Niger Delta area had also improved tremendously, while environmental pollution caused by oil companies had reduced drastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group reiterated that several communities in the Niger Delta and thousands of youths had been engaged and empowered either through direct employment or award of subcontracts by Tantita Security Nigeria Ltd, stating that the pipeline contract had drastically reduced unemployment, criminality and contributed immensely to the peace in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is in the light of the above that we express our gratitude to you, and all those partnering with Tantita Security Nigeria Ltd especially the leadership of the NNPCL and the Nigerian Armed Forces, for the successes recorded against oil theft. Their tireless efforts, innovative approaches and unwavering dedication have yielded remarkable results, and we are happy to acknowledge their achievements, which have left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s economic landscape and peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We pray for God’s divine direction, protection and blessings upon our Nation and its people. May the spirit of love, peace, and unity that defines this special season continue to guide us to a brighter future”, the group added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was contained in a statement signed on behalf of the Oporoza House by Mr. Kime Engozu, Hendricks Opukeme, Ari Sylvester Ari, \u2060Elder Kennedy Orubebe, Welman Warri, Cooler Hart, Ibiba Don Pedro, Felix Tuodolo, Elfrida Olungwe and Warisenibo Bristol Alagbariya Emmanuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
