The National Executive and Board of Trustees of the Host Communities Producing Oil, Gas and Pipeline Impacted States Youth Council of Nigeria (HOSTCON Youth Council) have commended the General Manager of Operations at Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Chief Godfrey Tare Pondi, for his humanitarian endeavours.
The National President of HOSTCON Youth Council, Emmanuel Fiawei Pathfinder, aka General OSAMA, in a statement to congratulate Pondi over his conferment of a chieftaincy title as Ibe-Ebidouwei of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State, by His Royal Majesty Oboro Gbaraun II, described the chieftaincy honour as a befitting recognition of Pondi’s enduring humanitarian contributions and his unwavering commitment to sustainable youth empowerment across the Niger Delta region.
Pathfinder noted that Chief Pondi’s consistent efforts to uplift lives align seamlessly with the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015, emphasising his alignment with global best practices in human and community development in the Niger Delta.
Beyond his notable achievements in the security sector, Pathfinder noted that Pondi has become a beacon of hope and transformation through his philanthropy and developmental initiatives.
“Since 2002, his leadership has significantly propelled Tantita Security Services’ operational excellence. His dedication to community empowerment, education support, and outreach to underserved and underprivileged communities has earned him widespread admiration and respect.
“In the education sector, one of his standout initiatives, the Godfrey Pondi Book Club, launched in 2015, has successfully fostered a culture of reading among the Ijaw people, with a clear aim to enrich minds and reshape perspectives with the wisdom of globally acclaimed authors.
“This honour bestowed on him serves as a beacon of hope to the Niger Delta region and is truly remarkable. It is also in recognition of the laudable, immense, and selfless sacrifices and contributions of Chief Godfrey Tare Pondi in the struggle for the emancipation of the Niger Delta.
“He stands as one of the highly respected, outstanding, and dependable pillars of support to High Chief Dr. Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo, in the journey of the Niger Delta emancipation struggle.”
