Chief Keston Pondi, Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Ltd, has reaffirmed his company’s commitment to human development and community-building, stressing that education remains a vital tool for reducing recidivism and promoting peace.
He made this known on Tuesday during the inauguration of an eight-classroom block at the Medium Security Correction Centre, Okere Road, Warri. The project, executed in partnership with the Delta State Government, aims to enhance inmate education and rehabilitation.
Representing Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, the Commissioner for Higher Education, Prof. Nyerhovwo Tonukari, described the classrooms as a testament to the administration’s dedication to education as a bridge between incarceration and reintegration.
“By equipping inmates with knowledge and skills, we are not just giving them a second chance but also contributing to the growth and security of our state,” Tonukari said.
He commended Tantita Security Services for its corporate social responsibility and lauded the collaboration as a model for public-private partnership. The facility, he noted, will provide a conducive environment for inmates to acquire academic and vocational skills, aligning with Governor Oborevwori’s vision of empowering citizens through learning.
The event highlighted the growing synergy between government and private stakeholders in Delta State, with both parties affirming that the classrooms will serve as a beacon of hope for inmates seeking a new beginning.
