Crude oil theft: HOSTCON reaffirms support for Tantita

The Host Communities of Oil, Gas and Pipeline Impacted States Youth Council of Nigeria (HOSTCON) have reaffirmed their commitment to partner with Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited to ensure the protection of crude oil pipelines across the six states of the Niger Delta region.

HOSTCON made this commitment in a statement felicitating the Vice Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Engr. Mathew Tonlagha, on his birthday celebration, describing him as an uncommon philanthropist and patriot who has used his wealth to add value to the lives of the people of the Niger Delta.

The HOSTCON Youth Council of Nigeria, in the statement signed by the National President, Comrade Emmanuel Fiawei Pathfinder, noted that Tonlagha has shown capacity as a true leader, a beacon of hope, a philanthropic and humanitarian icon, and a pillar of the host communities producing oil and gas.

According to him, “He is a peacemaker, bridge builder, and unifier who has laid down his life tirelessly to fight for the betterment of the people of the Niger Delta. We are highly elated to celebrate him on his birthday.

“Today, indeed, is a day of reflection and celebration, and we see that God brought you into the world to add value to the lives of Nigerians and beyond the shores of the country.

“He is also a trailblazer who has given hope to the downtrodden in the oil and gas producing communities in the Niger Delta, and his foundation has empowered so many people in the Niger Delta.

“We have seen and met with personalities, but your kind is difficult to find. You are overwhelmingly exceptional because your humility is iconic and heroic and has become a strong reference point today.

“He is also a true-born leader par excellence based on his broad and amazing experience, demonstrated by his unwavering commitment to national development and galvanising the economy, ensuring the sustainability of national peace.

“We have seen his commitment in the war against oil theft and pipeline vandalism, which has led to high production output in the nation’s oil sector, ensuring that the negative stories in the nation’s oil and gas sector should change.”
