He said that the CGC’s tripod policy thrust of Consolidation, Collaboration and Innovation have positioned the Nigeria Customs Service in a good stead, adding that no wonder that the CGC emerged as the council Chairman, World Customs Organization.

While thanking the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the extension, the Customs Area 1 boss insisted that leadership is not achieved through sycophancy but by dedication, integrity and total commitment which he reiterated that CGC Adeniyi has exhibited hence his appointment was not gotten on a platter of silver.

Our correspondent reports that the issue of the tenure extension or otherwise had elicited debate among the industry players, adding that this eventual extension has gone a long way to show that reward for good work is more work .

 

The statement continued by saying that “the extension of tenure of the CGC shows that even God rewards dedication, discipline, hard work, resourcefulness and integrity.

The statement posited ” I call on our gallant officers and Men of Area 1 Command, to redouble their efforts in making sure that we are on the same page with our amiable Comptroller General through our dedication to duty for effective service delivery and to ensure that revenue is generated, Trade Facilitated and Smuggling suppressed to the lowest minimum and do our work in line with international standard best practices.”

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.  …
