By Freeborn Abraye<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Delta State Government has commended Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited for its critical role in protecting oil infrastructure and sustaining Nigeria\u2019s economic stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, gave the commendation on Sunday while speaking on “The Morning Show” on Arise News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniagwu said there was no basis for comparing Tantita\u2019s performance in the Niger Delta to incidents of banditry in some parts of the country, describing the company\u2019s contributions as a \u201cmodel of corporate citizenship.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Tantita\u2019s operations have helped raise national oil production to about 1.7 million barrels per day, up from 1.1 million, a development that has positively impacted both the federal and state economies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDelta being the number one oil-producing state in Nigeria is benefitting through derivation, even though we still believe that 13 percent is less than what we expect,\u201d he said. \u201cBut beyond Delta, the federal government and the entire federation are also reaping from Tantita\u2019s security efforts because improved production translates to greater national revenue.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commissioner stressed that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori\u2019s administration remains focused on its twin responsibilities of security and welfare as enshrined in Section 14(2)(b) of the Nigerian Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that the state government is investing heavily in infrastructure, social welfare, and job creation to improve living standards and promote inclusive development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the last two years, we have spent over \u20a61.3 trillion on capital projects \u2014 roads, bridges, and flyovers that are on the ground, not in the air,\u201d Aniagwu said. \u201cWe are also prompt in salary payments and have introduced humanitarian interventions to support widows and the vulnerable through various empowerment and job creation schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the Oborevwori administration\u2019s prudent fiscal management has ensured that schools in Delta rarely join national strikes, reflecting the government\u2019s commitment to education and solvency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGovernor Oborevwori believes it is not enough for government to have money; that money must find its way into the pockets of the people so their standard of living can improve,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aniagwu reaffirmed that the administration\u2019s MORE Agenda focused on Meaningful Development, Opportunities for All, Realistic Reforms, and Enhanced Peace and Security, would continue to guide policy implementation across all 25 local government areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs we look ahead to 2027, the Oborevwori government will sustain this integration between politics and governance to ensure that Delta functions effectively and the people continue to feel the impact of government in their daily lives,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
