The Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria, PSN, has endorsed Jubilee syringe, noting that it meets the highest international standards.

The endorsement took place at the 94th annual conference of the society which held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

The conference focused on how patronage of homemade medical products, including syringes can change the trend of over-dependence on foreign options.

Speaking at the occasion, immediate past president of PSN, Pharm Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, noted that since the advent of Covid-19 in 2019, basic medical supplies like syringes have become scarce, expensive and consequently inaccessible.

Highlighting the importance of the endorsement, the president said; “pharmacists sell syringes, pharmacists deal in commodities and other consumables and syringes especially during this period of Covid, for vaccination, for testing, syringes are important.

“We have looked at the syringes, they work, they met their label claims, and they meet the highest international standards. We have verified, we have seen the manufacturing process, we have also talked with the users and they are satisfied.

“And since it’s a Nigerian product, most syringes are imported and we are promoting locally made products”.

The highpoint of the endorsement ceremony was the presentation of the endorsement certificate by the formerpresident of PSN to Mr Akin Oyediran, managing director, Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Company.

The event, which was held at a dinner and awards ceremony of the PSN was attended by officers and members of the PSN as well as other dignitaries, among whom were Sir Celestine Omehia, former governor of Rivers State who also chaired the occasion.

By the endorsement, Jubilee Syringe thus becomes one of the leading made-in-Nigeria brands to be endorsed by the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria.

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.  …
