NUJ Praises Tompolo for Facilitating New Secretariat in Warri.
By Our Correspondent
The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Warri Correspondents’ Chapel, has expressed appreciation to the Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), High Chief (Dr) Oweizide Government Ekpemupolo (alias Tompolo); Engr. Matthew Tonlagha (002), TSSNL; and the Managing Director of TSSNL, High Chief (Engr.) Kestin Pondi, for constructing and inaugurating a permanent secretariat for the union.
This initiative is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility to its operational areas, particularly host communities.
In his welcome address, Chairman of the NUJ Warri Chapel, Comrade Victor Okpomor, said the secretariat was fully constructed and tastefully furnished by Tompolo.
He described NUJ Warri as a beacon of hope and a formidable force within the union in Delta State.
Comrade Okpomor noted that, for over 30 years since its establishment, the NUJ Warri Chapel had struggled with the burden of annual rent payments.
“We are grateful to the Delta State Government and other stakeholders who have come to our aid whenever we called for assistance in paying rent. Special thanks to our former landlord, Mr Joshua Oronimighwu, for his consistent patience and understanding whenever we faced difficulties meeting our rental obligations.
“It is imperative to inform this august gathering that our search for support to carry out repairs and maintenance on our former rented secretariat led us to one of our benefactors—Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL). Rather than simply giving us fish, they chose to teach us how to fish. Please, let us all give a round of applause to TANTITA. We say thank you.
“We wish to specially express our profound appreciation to High Chief Dr Government Ekpemupolo, Chairman, TSSNL; Engr. Matthew Tonlagha (002); and High Chief (Engr.) Kestin Pondi, Managing Director, TSSNL, for using their company to conceive, construct, and tastefully furnish this beautiful edifice that we are gathered here to commission. May God bless you and your families, and may He uplift this private security company to greater heights.”
Comrade Okpomor pledged that the union would genuinely partner with the resolute commitment of TANTITA in securing critical national assets.
“Your efforts have yielded immeasurable results, as Federal, State, and Local Governments now smile to the banks due to increased allocations from the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC).
“I wish to highly commend Dr Paul Bebenimibo, Media Consultant to TSSNL, for his tireless efforts in ensuring this project became a reality. My deep gratitude also goes to Asiwaju Sola Adebayo for his steadfast support of the Chapel and the Union at large.”
