The Chairman, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), High Chief Government Ekpemupolo has hailed President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for signing into law the bill establishing the Nigeria Maritime University (NMU), Okerenkoko, Warri South Local Government Area, Delta State.

Popularly called Tompolo by his admirers, Ekpemupolo averred that the signing of the NMU bill into law by Tinubu has given what he called “full legal backing” to the only specialized maritime training tertiary institution in the country.

The TSSNL Chairman in a letter of appreciation to Tinubu stated that the signing of the NMU bill into law has validated the hope and aspiration for the advancement of learning and development in the oil and gas rich Niger Delta region.

He added that this magnanimous gesture symbolizes Mr. President’s goodwill towards the Niger Delta region and besides “his unwavering commitment” to its growth and sustainable development.

His words: “We the people of the Niger Delta are overwhelmed with gratitude as I write to express our heartfelt thanks for your historic endorsement of the Act establishing the Nigeria Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State. Your signing of the 2025 Act has given full legal backing to the institution.

“The Nigeria Maritime University, established in 2014, had been struggling to reach its full potential due to the absence of an enabling Act. But with your courageous decision, the university can now thrive, providing the necessary legal framework for its operations,”

Continuing, the TSSNL Chairman said: “Your visionary leadership has bridged the gap in maritime education in West Africa, where Ghana was previously the only country with a Maritime University. Nigeria is now poised to improve its capacity and manpower in the maritime sector, bringing development to the oil and gas communities in the Niger Delta and curbing youth restiveness in the region”.

“Once again, we express our sincere appreciation for this landmark achievement. Your leadership has rekindled enthusiasm amongst Niger Deltans, and we are confident that your government will continue to prioritize the development of the Niger Delta”.
