Responding shortly after being presented the award, Managing Director of Tantita, Engr. Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi, said the recognition would not have been possible without a committed workforce.

“This wouldn’t have been possible without our team who traverse the creeks of the Niger Delta to ensure the job of securing our pipelines is done.

“Tantita remains your one stop centre for pipelines and all other security services in Nigeria, our fatherland,” Pondi stated.
