In addition, the zone congratulated the National President, Mr. Emenike Kingsley Nwokeoji and the National Executive Committee (NECOM) on the successful conduct of the Eastern Zonal Chapter Elections.

This was conveyed in a press statement issued by the Zonal Coordinator, East, Sir Joshua I. Ahuama, and the Zonal Secretary, East, Dr. Chinyere Okere, on behalf of the association.

The zone also commended the Board of Trustees (BoT), led by Alhaji Taiwo Mustapha and Chief Kingsley Offor, the BoT secretary, as well as the association’s Electoral Committee (ASECO), chaired by Mr. Obiora Elochukwu, for ensuring a transparent, credible, free, and fair election.

“We congratulate the newly elected members of the Eastern Zonal chapter executives of ANLCA. Whether elected or not, all members remain valued contributors to our great association.”

The newly elected ANLCA Eastern Zone Chapter executives include:

*Area I – Dr. Emmanuel Okoh (Chairman), Chief Bright Chikezie, (Vice Chairman), Hon. Leonard C. Nwankwo (Secretary), Nze Clinton U. Anele (Treasurer), Mr. Louis I. Umezuruike (Financial Secretary) and Mr. Uchenna Cassidy Akaraonye (Public Relations Officer).

*Enugu – Mr. Chukwudi Ezenna (Chairman)

The statement emphasized that the different factions that existed before the elections should now dissolve, as teamwork is the foundation for collective success.

“To those who emerged as winners, remember that you are not just leaders of those who voted for you but leaders of the entire association. Your responsibility is to unite, not divide, and to carry everyone along in the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie.”

The statement further stressed that the primary objective remains the advancement of ANLCA, which can only be achieved through unity and collaboration.

“We pray for God’s guidance, wisdom, and direction as you work together to move ANLCA forward. We also urge all members to continue fostering unity, remembering that ANLCA is one family.”

The ANLCA Eastern Zone looks forward to a productive and prosperous tenure under the leadership of the newly elected executives.

Make Methane Reduction a Business Priority, NLNG’s Falade urges Gas Industry

... Says Monetisation Initiative Cut Nigeria’s Gas Flaring from 65% to 20%  By Paul Williams   NLNG has urged the global gas industry to make methane reduction a business priority, adding that every tonne of methane released into the atmosphere represents lost revenue and gas that could otherwise reach the market.  The company said its experience shows that investment in reducing these losses can pay for itself while cutting emissions and improving plant efficiency.  Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of NLNG, Mr Adeleye Falade, made the call at Gastech 2026 Exhibition and Conference in Bangkok during a panel titled “Capturing the Lost Opportunity: Driving Global Alignment on Methane Abatement Across Natural Gas Supply Chains.”  He said the NLNG approach starts with measuring methane losses and using the findings to guide investment in leak prevention and gas recovery, with independent verification to ensure credible reporting.  Falade said the industry needed to shift the conversation from the cost of methane reduction to the value it creates, recognising that preventing gas losses serves both commercial and environmental objectives.  “Every tonne emitted is lost product, lost revenue and lost energy; gas we could have sold. Every molecule of methane avoided is both an emissions reduction and a recovered energy resource,” he said.  He cited NLNG’s new boil-off gas compressor and start-up gas recovery project as examples of investments that support this approach. Each project targets methane reductions of approximately 10–15 per cent, and both have positive projected net present values, meaning their anticipated financial benefits exceed their costs over the life of the projects.  Falade said, “The most compelling business case is the simplest one: the projects that cut our methane also pay for themselves. The same discipline that reduces methane also improves asset reliability and plant efficiency. The returns show up in more places than the emissions ledger.”  He explained that credible measurement underpins NLNG’s investment decisions, which allows the company to identify methane losses, direct resources to the right interventions and assess the results.  He noted that NLNG’s experience demonstrates that gas producers in developing economies can establish globally trusted emissions-reporting systems by investing in monitoring infrastructure, building reporting capabilities and submitting their data to independent scrutiny.  Falade highlighted NLNG’s Gold Standard recognition under the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership (OGMP) 2.0 and said the company was the first in Africa to achieve Level 5 methane emissions reporting.  He added that its measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) system is independently assured by DNV in accordance with ISO 14064.  NLNG’s approach includes site-wide optical gas imaging, a structured Leak Detection and Repair programme, and the phased deployment of continuous monitoring and real-time dashboards across its plant and vessels.  …
