The Maritime Security Providers Association of Nigeria (MASPAN) has commended Tantita Security Services (TSS) for showcasing Nigeria’s growing maritime security capabilities on the global stage at the ongoing Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) 2025 in Houston, Texas, USA.
In a statement signed by MASPAN President, Mr. Emmanuel Maiguwa, he noted that the presence of Tantita at the prestigious global event marks a bold step for indigenous security firms aiming to compete internationally. Maiguwa described Tantita’s strategy and display in Houston as a “statement that Nigeria is ready to play big” and urged other local security companies to follow suit.
“Nigerian security companies are not typically known as international players. Tantita’s move changes that narrative and signals our readiness to be counted among global maritime actors,” he said.
He emphasized that even a single successful international project by Tantita could strengthen Nigeria’s case for enhanced global maritime representation, including a seat in Category A of the IMO Council. Maiguwa encouraged the Nigerian government and maritime regulators to continue supporting indigenous firms with capacity-building initiatives.
