 Russia launches massive drone and missile barrage on Ukraine, killing at least 18 civilians and striking Kyiv and multiple cities  Russia carried out a large-scale overnight assault on Ukraine, launching hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles that killed at least 18 civilians and wounded more than 100 others across multiple cities, officials said Tuesday. The strikes hit Kyiv, Dnipro and other regions, with emergency crews working through destroyed residential buildings where some victims were trapped under rubble. In Dnipro, rescuers recovered the bodies of a 3-year-old child and a mother and her 8-year-old son, while officials reported 12 deaths in the city and six in Kyiv.

People argue that the Nigerian consultants don't have the requisite experience.Even if that is the case,how will they get it if you continue every time to shun them and you prefer foreign consultants? These fore consultants got to where they got to because they were given the opportunity from their country,'' the Minister said.He said once the policy is active,government ministries and agencies will begin to involve consultants like PR-CAN in their programmes.
