No Division In PFN ~ Apostle Ogu

The general overseer of Abundant Life Evangel Mission, Apostle Eugene Ogu has said that there was no division in the fold of the Pentecostal fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) contrary to insinuations in some quarters, stressing that the PFN was united and will continue to be one indivisible family.

Apostle Ogu made this declaration while speaking with newsmen at the end of the service organized by the PFN, ·Rivers State chapter to mark this year’s day of Pentecost at the Abundant Life Evangel Mission, Port Harcourt.

He said it was erroneous for anybody to say that the PFN family was divided pointing out that the various churches that make up the body would not have been represented at the service if there was any division in the fold.

The former chairman of PFN in the state however used the opportunity to throw more light on the essence of the meeting which he said was to foster unity among Pentecostal churches, and also emphasized that the unity of the body of Christ can be sustained by love and power of the Holy Spirit.

It also afforded him the opportunity to make a declaration that the body of Christ was united in Rivers State and to appreciate their different gifts and callings irrespective of their different operations.

The man of God who is also the national director (security) of PFN, admitted that there is moral decadence in the society as a result of leadership and economic failures by political leaders.

He said the church has been doing enough to clean up the mess, and regretted a situation where youths are turned out every year from the universities and are left to roam the streets in search of non-existing jobs, which he said is a direct manifestation of the failure of leadership.

Apostle Ogu said that if not for prayers and teachings of the churches, that the situation would have been worse than what it is today, adding that until governments at all levels step up their game and come up with policies and programmes that will have positive impact on the masses, we will continue to face problems with the morals of the youths.

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.  …
