 Man brutalises his pregnant wife in Anambra  In another case of domestic violence, a pregnant woman was brutally beaten by her husband in Ichi, Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State. The mother of three identified as Chinelo Francis, from Ebonyi State, said trouble began when she requested money from her husband, Peter, to prepare food.  According to the young woman, she had already bought vegetable with the profit she made from her shop. Peter, also from Ebonyi, claimed he didn’t make money that day and took the children home.  He returned to her shop at around 8:00 PM and insisted she close up and come home with him.  She refused, explaining that the time was when she typically made most of her sales.  Later, she closed up her shop, went home at 9:30 PM, prepared the children for bed, and retired.

 FG breaks silence on Lagos-Calabar Highway controversy


The Federal Government has defended its decision to award the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project to Hitech Construction Company Ltd., dismissing concerns over the bidding process.

Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi, addressed the matter on Saturday during an inspection tour of the project in Lagos, insisting that due process was followed.

“Some people say that the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway didn’t go through a competitive bidding,” Umahi said. “I want to explain this: we have three types of procurement allowed by law.”

He outlined these as restrictive procurement, selective/competitive bidding, and open bidding.

The minister explained that the government specifically sought companies with advanced concrete paving technology, a method that was uncommon in Nigeria before the project commenced.

“When we started this project, we asked for companies that have up to five written concrete pavers,” he said. “You will agree with me that until we started this, the concrete paver was not common in Nigeria as it is today.”

According to Umahi, Hitech was selected because of its experience in handling similar large-scale projects, including the reconstruction of the Oworonshoki-Apapa Road.

“We saw that they got it right; so, we called them on Section 1,” he stated.

He further explained that the ministry employed restrictive bidding for this section, a process reviewed and approved by both the Bureau for Public Procurement (BPP) and the Federal Executive Council.

As more companies began acquiring concrete paving equipment in response to the government’s insistence on using the method in areas with a high water table, Umahi said the government opened Section 2 to selective bidding.

“We selected some companies and they bid. Hitech won the bidding,” he noted.

The same approach, he said, was applied to Sections 3A and 3B.

“We have not gone outside the law, we have not gone outside the Procurement Act,” Umahi stressed.

He also dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu influenced the selection of Hitech.

“I want to say that there is no corruption in it. It is very transparent,” he declared.
