Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), a private security outfit owned by High Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo that secures oils pipelines in parts of the Niget Delta region has restated it’s commitment to boost daily crude oil production to over two million Barrels Per Day.
This was disclosed on Friday by High Chief Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo while reacting to the latest feat announced by Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) that the nation’s crude oil production hit 1.8 million barrels per day (1.8m bpd)
The board and management of NNPCL, which announced the feat on Thursday, also disclosed that gas production has also risen to 7.4 billion standard cubic feet per day (7.4bscfd).
High Chief Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo who spoke through Dr. Paul Bebenimibo, his Media Consultant recalled that Chief Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo while speaking during an award bestowed on him by the national leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), promised to ensure that the daily crude oil production output continued to increase and boost the nation’s revenue.
According to Dr. Bebenimibo, Tompolo said then, “the only place I have to call my country is Nigeria, so I will do everything within my powers to see that crude oil production increases.”
Tompolo said that Tantita was committed to the realisation of 2mbp by December 2024 as directed by President Ahmed Tinubu.
Tompolo added, “this milestone, as you know, was achieved in collaboration with NNPCL, security forces and of course, Tantita, which has been at the forefront of oil pipelines protection in the Niger Delta region. We are determined to take it to 2mbpd before the year runs out as directed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“All the needed machinery has been put in place to ensure that the target is achieved. No effort will be spared to ensure that the economy of Nigeria is galvanised.
“This will lead to a boost in government’s revenue, thereby making more funds available for the President and his team to run the country effectively. I am assuring you that we are not going to rest on our oars until the target is achieved and even exceeded.
“New technologies were being deployed to monitor the facilities with a view to ensuring that there won’t be any disruption and that the theft of Nigeria’s commonwealth is halted.
“So the 1.8mbpd that it has gotten to, certainly by the end of the year, by God’s grace, we will work to get it to 2mbpd and even exceed. We are working towards that,” Tompolo assured.
