Association Honours Tompolo In London for Environmental, Economic Contributions

In a notable recognition of his contributions to environmental protection and economic development in Nigeria, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has received an award and certificate of recognition from the Ijaw People’s Association of Great Britain and Ireland.

The award was presented during the 76th Ijaw Day celebration held at the Kevin Banquet Suite in London.

Tompolo, renowned for his pipeline surveillance operations aimed at curbing crude oil theft, has been pivotal in protecting the Niger Delta’s environment and creating employment opportunities for the people of the oil rich Niger Delta Region.

The Ijaw People’s Association acknowledged his efforts in safeguarding the region’s natural resources and foster economic growth, emphasizing the positive impact of his work on the local communities.

Recall that Tompolo has declared a resolute stance against economic saboteurs and environmental polluters in the Niger Delta.

“We are going to move into serious action, where we will stop all the illegal activities in the Niger Delta region. We need to do everything within our powers to protect our environment and our nation.”

The award highlights Tompolo’s significant achievements in reducing pipeline vandalism and improving regional security through his security firm, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited.

His efforts had led to substantial discoveries of illegal oil activities in remote creeks and on the high seas, effectively disrupting the operations of criminal elements.

The organisers said that he was honoured for the good jobs he is doing in the country, especially in the Niger Delta Region where he is waging war against oil thieves.

Prof. Benjamin Okaba, President of the Ijaw National Council, praised Tompolo for his contributions, saying that, “He has been an outstanding patron of the Ijaw nation. The reduction in pipeline vandalization and improvement in security are commendable.
Tompolo’s operations have demonstrated that oil theft is not solely a Niger Delta issue but involves external cabals. We are grateful for his efforts, and if we had more individuals like him, development would flourish.”

Bubaray Dakolo, Chairman of the Bayelsa Traditional Rulers Council, viewed the awards as an encouragement for excellence and leadership within the Ijaw community and said that; “These awards are a call to action for us to continue our efforts and set an example for others”.

Jonathan Lokpobiri, President of the Ijaw Youth Council, stressed the environmental benefits resulting from Tompolo’s initiatives.

He advocated for Tompolo to receive a National Merit Award, pointing out that; “The reduction of illegal refining activities is gradually improving our environment. Tompolo’s efforts are deserving of national recognition.”

The awards ceremony not only celebrated Tompolo’s achievements but also reinforced his commitment to the environmental protection and economic development in the Niger Delta Region.
