Today, the auditorium at Dandani Event Center in Warri was filled with a quiet hum of anticipation. Students from various schools had gathered, all eager, nervous, and hopeful, their minds set on one thing—delivering their very best at the public speaking competition organized by Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited in collaboration with the Godfrey Pondi Book Club.
What began as a platform to celebrate young voices soon became a testament to the boundless generosity and vision of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited. The event was initially scheduled to award the top three winners with prizes that would significantly contribute to their educational pursuits. But, in a surprising and moving gesture, the prize amounts were elevated on the very day of the event. The first-place prize was increased to a remarkable 1,000,000 Naira, awarded to Dom-Domingos College, while the second and third prizes rose to 800,000 and 700,000 Naira, won by Edjeba Secondary School and Ighogbadu Secondary School, respectively. For the young competitors, this change represented more than just numbers; it was a profound acknowledgment of their hard work, dedication, and potential.
Guiding the event with dedication and pride were two figures who have always been deeply committed to uplifting the next generation. Capt. Warredi Enisuoh, Executive Director of Operations and Technical, and Sir. Godfrey Tare Pondi, General Manager of Operations and Technical, both stood as pillars of support and inspiration. With every word they spoke, they communicated a vision for a brighter future—one where every young voice matters, every talent is celebrated, and every dream is within reach.
Yet, the true beauty of this competition lay not just in its winners but in its inclusivity. Tantita Security Services recognized that each student, regardless of their final standing, brought something valuable to the stage: courage, creativity, and a desire to make a difference. And so, every participating school was gifted 100,000 Naira as a token of appreciation, a gesture that filled each young heart with pride and a sense of belonging. Additionally, each participant received a school bag—a simple yet meaningful symbol that their journey toward knowledge and self-discovery was valued and cherished.
As the event concluded, there was a sense that something much greater than a competition had taken place. It was a moment where young individuals were given a stage not only to speak but to be heard, to stand tall, and to feel that their voices mattered. The air was thick with hope, pride, and a renewed commitment to fostering unity and learning within the community.
For Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, this competition wasn’t just a single day’s event; it was a commitment to the future. It was a message to every young mind in attendance: that they are seen, valued, and supported, that they carry within them the seeds of leadership and change. And as the students departed with their prizes, their bags, and their heads held a little higher, it was clear that they left with something far more enduring—the belief that they could achieve greatness, no matter where their paths might lead.
In a world often in need of reminders of kindness and community, October 5, 2024, stood as a beacon, a celebration of the voices that will one day lead us all.
