During a press conference on Thursday, March 6, Trudeau got emotional while discussing his government's $10-a-day childcare policy. 'On a personal level, I made sure that every single day in this office, I put Canadians first and I have peoples' backs and that's why I'm here to tell you all that we got you, even in the last days of this government, we will not let Canadians down today and well into the future,' he said as he'd cle...

The State Department has revoked the visa of a student who participated in protesting in favor of Hamas, a move in line with President  Donald Trump 's call for canceling visas of students involved in the anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses.

Palestinian children carry food past destroyed buildings at the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, Palestine, March 3, 2025. (AFP Photo) Donald Trump on Wednesday warned of intensified attacks on Gaza if all remaining hostages were not freed, while issuing an ultimatum for Hamas leaders to flee.

> Dangote Refinery To Buy 24m Barrels Of Crude From US The call for US oil reflects Nigeria’s struggle to lift its own crude production. The Dangote Refinery was commissioned last month. Dangote Refinery has revealed plans to buy at least 24 million barrels of US crude over the next year as it ramps up its processing capabilities. A report by Bloomberg revealed that the $20bn refinery has issued a term tender for the purchase of 2 million barrels a month of West Texas Intermediate Midland (WTI) crude for 12 months starting in July, which amounts to 24 million barrels of crude in one year.

It also highlights how influential the refinery will be in global crude and fuel trading. Elitsa Georgieva, Executive Director at Citac, an energy consultancy specializing in the African d...
