Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, owned by High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has completed the reconstruction of the 3 Battalion Soldiers’ Transit Accommodation at Effurun Barracks. The newly revamped facility was formally handed over to Nigerian Army authorities.
The transit accommodation, which was redesigned, reconstructed, and fully furnished, boasts state-of-the-art amenities designed to improve the living conditions of soldiers stationed at the barracks. It includes 68 rooms, 18 bathrooms and conveniences, and 3 central kitchens, with the capacity to house 140 soldiers at once.
Speaking during the commissioning, Maj. Gen. Abdusallam, who was present alongside Brig. Gen. Unachukwu Nwachukwu, Commander of the 63 Brigade of the Nigerian Army, lauded Tantita Security Services for their goodwill.
He emphasized strongly on the working relationship between the Nigerian Army and the private security firm, highlighting that this partnership was key to the project’s success.
“You can see that this project was born out of the working relationship we have maintained with Tantita Security Services Ltd. Without such collaboration, I don’t think this project would have materialized,” Maj. Gen. Abdusallam remarked.
He urged Tantita to consider extending similar support to other military barracks across the country.
In his response, Capt. Warredi Enisuoh, Executive Director (Operations & Technical) of Tantita Security Services, expressed gratitude to the Nigerian Army for their continued partnership.
“We have reasons to be more grateful to all the security forces. We will continue to stand by you just the way you stood by us. This is the beginning of a great partnership to come.”
“You have not only contributed to our development and safety, you have also contributed greatly to the development of our security in Niger Delta and the entire nation,” he said.
