Navy, Tantita partner to protect federal assets in Niger Delta

The Nigerian Navy and the private pipeline surveillance firm Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited are forging a partnership to safeguard federal government infrastructure across the Niger Delta region. This collaboration aims to enhance security in the vital oil-producing area.

“

These projects happened because of deliberate support, clear vision, and a shared belief that those who defend our waters deserve good facilities, including decent homes.

Commodore Shehu Tasiu, Commander of NNS-Delta, announced the synergy during the inauguration of several projects at the naval base in Warri, Delta State. These projects included car parks, sports courts, and crucially, accommodation for officers and senior ratings. Tantita Security Services sponsored some of these personnel accommodation projects.

Tasiu expressed gratitude for Tantita's support, emphasizing that decent living conditions are directly linked to the operational effectiveness of personnel defending the nation's waters. He described Tantita's contribution as "nation-building in action," noting that improved accommodation leads to healthier, more focused, and committed sailors.

“

By providing quality accommodation for our personnel, you have invested directly in the comfort, dignity, and readiness of those who patrol the creeks, secure oil infrastructure, and keep our maritime domain safe day and night. This is more than Corporate Social Responsibility. This is nation-building in action.

"When our sailors live in decent quarters, they are healthier, more focused, and more committed. A rested sailor makes fewer mistakes," Tasiu stated. He stressed that maritime security requires a coordinated effort involving the military, other security agencies, government institutions, and responsible private sector entities like Tantita.

“

When our sailors live in decent quarters, they are healthier, more focused, and more committed. A rested sailor makes fewer mistakes. What you have done strengthens the operational backbone of NNS DELTA and, by extension, the Nigerian Navy’s contribution to national security and economic stability in the Niger Delta.

The Commander called on other corporate organizations and well-meaning Nigerians to emulate Tantita's commitment to national security and the welfare of naval personnel, highlighting the shared responsibility in protecting the country's assets and ensuring stability in the Niger Delta.
