NAPS has also given a Standing Ovation to the leadership of the PBAT DOOR TO DOOR MOVEMENT for its unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
In a statement issued in Abuja on 18th August 2026 and signed by the National Secretary General, Comr. Lukman Lawal, NAPS described Tompolo as “a detribalized Nigerian, peace advocate, patriotic statesman, nation-builder, and political mobilizer whose commitment to nation-building is worthy of emulation.”
The Association further described the PBAT DOOR TO DOOR MOVEMENT as “the most formidable and number one grassroots mobilization structure in Nigeria today.”
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS COMMENDED.
NAPS highlighted the following landmark contributions:
1. Unflinching Support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR.
High Chief Tompolo floated and currently leads the PBAT DOOR TO DOOR MOVEMENT, the number one support group for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. The movement has mobilized millions at the grassroots to promote government policies, defend democracy, and ensure the success of the Renewed Hope Agenda through door-to-door sensitization and voter education.
2. Job Creation and Youth Empowerment.
Through Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, over 10,000 direct and indirect jobs have been created for Nigerian youths, with priority given to graduates of polytechnics and universities in surveillance, maritime security, logistics, and technology.
3. Boost to National Economy and Security.
Tantita’s surveillance operations have drastically reduced crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism, and increased Nigeria’s daily oil production. This has restored investor confidence and improved government revenue.
4. Investment in Education.
His foundational support for the Nigeria Maritime University, Okerenkoko through the provision of the takeoff campus, a 250-room hostel, and continuous scholarships has opened access for thousands of students to technical and maritime education.
5. Peace Building and Amnesty.
His acceptance of the 2009 Presidential Amnesty and transition to institutional engagement has been key to sustaining peace and development in the Niger Delta.
6. Capacity Building.
Regular skills acquisition programs, ICT training, and entrepreneurship schemes for youths across the country.
