One step closer to building a home for the mission, but there’s still a long way to go.
Imagine a place where missionaries can be refreshed and trained, prayers lifted, and the Gospel carried further to the unreached.

You can be part of Missions.
You don’t have to go to the field to make a difference.
You can pray. Give. Go. Send.
Every role matters. Every sacrifice counts. Every life reached matters.
There is a place for you in God’s mission.
Will you take your place?

Not everyone will move to another country.
Not everyone will preach behind a pulpit.
Not everyone will live on the mission field.
But every believer has a part to play.
The Great Commission isn't only for missionaries.
It belongs to the Church.
What's your part?

Two years ago, much of Nigeria’s gas potential remained untapped. Today, investments are translating that potential into infrastructure for transportation, industry and households.
The Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund (MDGIF) has catalysed ₦1.6 trillion in investment across 31 projects and 205 infrastructure assets. Nine CNG stations are already operational in Lagos, Abuja, Owerri and Ile-Ife, with about 50 additional projects expected before the end of 2026.
MDGIF continues to support investments that expand Nigeria’s gas infrastructure and strengthen domestic gas utilisation.

Japanese automaker Honda has developed the underlying technology for a wireless charging system that can supply electricity to electric vehicles while they are in motion, including large commercial vehicles.
I bought fuel yesterday in Toronto, Canada, at $1.7999 CAD per litre, and it cost about $98.95 CAD to fill up my tank. This should ideally last me about a week or more.
Now, the minimum wage in Canada is $17.95 CAD per hour, which means someone who works an average of 8 hours a day will earn $143.60 CAD before tax. A day's salary is enough to fuel his or her car for 2–3 weeks. This means that even one of the lowest earners in Canada can afford to own and drive a car daily without the cost of fuel becoming an overwhelming burden. Public education for children is also free and of high quality.
In Nigeria, fuel is about ₦1,300 per litre. It would cost about ₦88,000 to fill up a similar tank. The minimum wage in Nigeria is ₦70,000 per month. This means that an entire month's minimum wage cannot even fill the tank once.
A minimum-wage earner in Nigeria cannot realistically afford to own, fuel, and maintain a car. The same person still has to afford food, rent, children's education, healthcare, electricity, transportation, and other basic necessities. The list goes on.
In fact, even a bank manager in Nigeria earning ₦1 million monthly could still struggle to maintain a decent standard of living after covering these basic expenses.
This is one reason poverty is so widespread in Nigeria. The cost of basic living is simply too high relative to what the average person earns.
You don't just have an income problem in Nigeria. You have an affordability problem.
For millions of Nigerians, simply living a decent life has become too expensive and increasingly impossible.
You may not always receive recognition, but Heaven sees every sacrifice you make for the Gospel.
Because of your prayers and generosity, communities are served, missionaries are strengthened, and lives are reached with the Gospel.

DISCLAIMER: Fake Letter Circulating in My Name
My attention has been drawn to a fake letter circulating on social media, purportedly written by me to His Majesty, Igwe Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, concerning political and financial matters in Anambra State.
This document is entirely false, malicious, and a fabrication by mischievous elements aimed at misleading the public. Furthermore, the signature appended to the letter is completely forged.
I urge the public and media to disregard this spurious publication. My focus remains steadfastly on issues of national development, accountability, and building a better future for our people - never on cheap fabrications. -PO
