Tantita Security Security Services Ltd continues to expand its scope of interests and operations in its bid to touch lives and better it immediate environment and by extension the entire country.
This informed the recent inter schools debate the company held in Warri to enlighten and create awareness on the impact of pollution on the environment.
The debate which was the joint effort of Tantita Security Services Limited and Godfrey Pondi Book Club had as theme “The Impact of Technology in Combating Crude Oil Theft and Pipeline Vandalism,”
Participants at the competition were; Dom Domingos College, Edjeba Secondary School, Ighogbadu Secondary School, Ekpan Secondary School, Urhobo College, College of Commerce, Yonwuren College, Alegbo Secondary School, Dore Numa College, and Ugborikoko Secondary School.
Each participant delivered insightful presentations addressing the critical role of technology in tackling issues related to crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism.
Dom Domingos College emerged victorious in the competition, earning a cash reward of N1,000,000 for their performance.
Edjeba Secondary School secured the First Runner-Up position, receiving N800,000, while Ighogbadu Secondary School finished third and got N700,000.
Speaking at the event, Executive Director , Technical and Operations, Tantita Security Services Limited, Captain Warredi Enisuoh commended the initiators of the idea of the competition.
His words: “From all your performances, we can only say it will get better next time. It will get bigger next time; the prize money will also increase, and we will also introduce individual scholarships that will follow with assistance to the schools.”
Warredi emphasized the relevance of the competition’s theme, saying, “it was not an easy topic, and I think only those from this area would have won if it was a national event.
“We sleep and wake up with this pollution from crude oil; we know it is not easy surviving in this region. Most of our land has been affected by the illegality of this problem. We are very happy to see these effects at a young age, as it shows there is hope for solutions.”
Captain Enisuoh also reflected on the importance of the students’ contributions, noting that the security company learnt from the students even though it was already in the business of combating the scourge of pipeline vandalism.
“One day, one of you will be a Governor, another a Deputy Governor, possibly even a President. It’s crucial to understand the problems of your country before becoming a leader,” Capt. Warredi said
Teachers from participating schools expressed their appreciation for Tantita’s initiative, recognizing the event as a valuable platform that not only highlights students’ skills but also reflects the hard work of Teachers and parents.
The event was also attended by other management staff of Tantita Security even as the programme reemphasized the need to reward students for their outstanding performance in schools and competitions.
