He further reiterated that Tantita Security Network shall always protect the interest of the federal government without compromising its vision and mission in ensuring that the nation’s crude oil pipelines are safeguarded from being vandalised by the oil thefts and bunkers.
While speaking, he thanked and appreciated the pathfinder of Tantita Security Services, Government Ekpemupolo, fondly called Tompolo, for his proactive leadership sytle by placing the nation’s interest above his personal pursuits.
Senior High Chief Asonja notes that at a critical time like this, prayers and unity of purpose will help for progress, tasked Nigerians to continue working hard to realise the mission and vision of the country’s founding fathers, who fought for the country to become what it is today.
“As we mark our country’s 63rd Independence Anniversary, we must remain steadfast, united and prayerful for our country to remain one and overcome her challenges, especially, in terms of insecurity.
“It is also incumbent on us as citizens to pray for our national, state and local leaders so that God Almighty will continue to guide and lead them rightly. Let’s all work together as one people.
“In the face of some of the challenges confronting us as a nation, we have no choice but to work hard to overcome our challenges. But we need the support of the citizens to achieve that,” Asonja said
