Addressing the gathering during the Programme, Evang.

“We decided to invest in skill acquisition and entrepreneurship training so that widows and orphans can become assets to themselves and to the nation rather than liabilities to society,” she declared.

According to her, the programme is deliberately designed to discourage crime, poverty-driven desperation and social dependency, while promoting dignity, productivity and self-reliance.

While  further commending  Governor Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda, describing it as visionary and people-centered, Evang Mrs Elizabeth Dortie  urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State to  partner with the Royal Charity for Widows and Orphans Initiative in Ekuigbo Ughelli  to expand the reach and impact of its empowerment programmes across Delta State and beyond.

In her emotional welcome address and testimony of God’s faithfulness, Evang. Mrs. Dortie announced that Tuesday, December 23, 2025, was specially set aside to thank God for His benevolence upon her Ministry and the Humanitarian initiative from its inception in Lagos to its flourishing expansion in Ughelli.

SERMON



Delivering the sermon titled “The Covenant of the Favour of God,” Bishop Christopher Livingstone Okonul anchored his message on Psalm 1:1–3 and Luke 1:28, teaching that God remains the ultimate source of all success and existence.

He illustrated his message with the analogy of the palm tree, explaining that just as the palm thrives only when deeply rooted in the soil, humanity thrives only when firmly rooted in God.

“God can exist without man, but man cannot exist without God,” he emphasized.

PTI Defends Its Reputation Against Misleading Sahara Media Report By Wilson Macaulay Effurun, Delta State July 12 2025 The Management of the prestigious Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, has vehemently refuted a sensational and malicious report published by Sahara Reporters on July 10, 2025, which alleged that students of the foremost oil and gas institution study in “flooded classrooms and snake-infested hostels” despite a ₦39 billion budget. Describing the publication as “baseless, mischievous, and an orchestrated attempt to malign the integrity of the institution,” PTI Management said the report is not only factually inaccurate but also a deliberate attack on the hard-earned reputation and progress of the institution under its current leadership. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the management declared: > “There are absolutely no flooded classrooms or snake-infested hostels within the Institute. These claims are complete fabrications devoid of any evidence or truth.” Management further challenged Sahara Reporters to produce any verifiable photographic or video proof to substantiate its claims. > “If such conditions exist as alleged, Sahara Reporters should have no difficulty presenting concrete evidence. Until then, their report remains a reckless misrepresentation aimed at misleading the public.” PTI clarified that all its lecture halls, laboratories, workshops, and hostels are structurally sound, properly ventilated, electrically powered, and routinely maintained. The Institute prides itself on maintaining a safe and conducive academic environment for learning, innovation, and professional development in the oil and gas sector. The management in clear terms described the publication as the work of “unscrupulous elements seeking to sow discord and cast aspersions on the steady infrastructural development PTI has recorded in recent years.” As a center of excellence in petroleum training and manpower development, PTI has, under its current administration, seen remarkable transformation in terms of physical infrastructure, digital modernization, and student welfare programs. The Institute continues to attract local and international recognition for its cutting-edge research and high-impact training curriculum. While assuring stakeholders, parents, and the general public of its unwavering commitment to the safety and welfare of its students, the management reiterated its call for responsible journalism and urged media practitioners to verify facts before rushing to publication. “We remain focused on our mandate and will not be distracted by smear campaigns designed to derail our progress.”
