The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, CEO, of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo yesterday donated a multimillion naira worth state-of-the-art police station to the Delta State Police Command.
The project, which is said to be the best Police station in the country, located at Ugborikoko community in Uvwie Local Government Area of the state, consists of a newly built and fully equipped police station, a newly constructed quarter guard post, reconstruction of existing police hall.
It also have a 30kva soundproof Mikano generator and a 30kva solar system to ensure uninterrupted power, CCTV cameras and computer system to enhance surveillance and digital operations as well as television sets, air-conditioning units, a facility also extended even to the cells.
Tompolo said the decision to rebuild the police station was a mark of the company’s commitment to rebuild the peace in Warri and improve the security of life and property for all residents in Warri, Effurun, and its environs.
Speaking through his representative and the Managing Director of TSSNL, Mr. Kestin Pondi, he said the gesture was also to celebrate the men and women of the Nigerian Police Force who, he stated, were the unsung heroes of the nation’s security.
“They are the reasons why we chose to invest in this important project, to give back to the community and to support the tireless men and women who work daily to keep our neighborhoods safe and secure”.
“The decision to rebuild the Ugborikoko Divisional Police Station was borne out of a recognition that security infrastructure matters. A secure, functional, and decent work environment boosts morale, enhances operational effectiveness, and strengthens public confidence in law enforcement”, he emphasized.
Tompolo noted that as a community based private security company, that understand and shared the desires of the society for improved security as a precondition for investment he has continued to provide security for the nation’s pipelines and other oil and gas infrastructure.
“Since our contract commenced in August 2022, Nigeria has witnessed an astonishing rise in oil and gas productivity. This is a testament to the improvement in productivity that better security can guarantee for any nation and every sector of the economy.
“In 2022 when we came on the scene, Nigeria’s oil production was limited to just under 700,000 barrels per day. Today we are celebrating 1.7 million barrels per day (without adding condensates), an improvement of well over 1 million barrels per day”, he said.
“As it stands, we are well within reach of 2 million barrels per day of crude oil (without adding condensates), if all stakeholders work together to improve the utilization of the current infrastructure”, he added.
Chief Ekpemupolo thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his unwavering commitment to the Niger Delta region, the security of her people, and its resources to the benefit of the Nation.
He also thanked the leadership and management of NNPCL for giving Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited the opportunity to contribute to National progress.
Inaugurating the ultra modern police station, the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun thanked Tantita Security Services Limited and particularly it’s Managing Director, High Chief Kestin Pondi for making the project possible.
He noted that the donation reflects, not only a commitment to the well being of the community, but also a deep trust in the role the police force plays in maintaining peace, law and order.
The IGP, represented by Assistant Inspector General (AIG), Zone 5, Salman-Dogo Garba assured all that the new police station was not just a place where officers will work but also a place where the people can engage positively with the Police, and work together to build a safer and stronger community.
Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori also commended TSSNL for the gesture and urged the police to ensure proper maintenance of the property.
Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kingsley Emu, assured his administration of continued assistance to the security agencies to enhance adequate security of the people of the state.
The Divisional Police Officer, CSP Omosetemi Agbede Zuokumor (Mrs.) had said,”When I assumed my duties on 10th June, 2024, I faced a daunting reality: the previous police station structure was in a challenging state, unworthy of the dedicated men and women who serve within its walls.
I therefore reached out to my longtime friend and brother-in-law, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Ltd for his unwavering support for our vision of a new modern police station, and this has been instrumental in bringing this dream to fruition.
“Today, as we stand before this impressive structure officially inaugurated with the laying of its foundation on 10 July 2024, we celebrate the culmination of seven months of tireless effort and dedication”, she said.
CSP Zuokumor expressed appreciation to TSSNL management for their generous contributions to the project from start to finish.
