US Election 2016: Clinton condemns Trump's plans for Nato
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton rebuked Republicans and defended Nato in a counter-terrorism speech after deadly attacks in Brussels.
Her comments contrasted sharply with her Republican counterparts, namely Donald Trump, who has suggested scaling back US commitments to Nato.
Mrs Clinton said the US should consult more deeply with Arab partners and stand with Europe in its time of need.
"Our European allies stood with us on 9/11. It's time to return the favour."

America should not turn its back on its allies, she said during remarks at Stanford University in California, and insulting them is not a good way to fight terrorism.
She addressed Mr Trump's calls to reinstate the use of torture and water boarding to glean information from those accused of terrorism.
"I am proud to have been part of an administration that outlawed torture," the former secretary of state said.

The deadly attacks in Brussels that killed more than 30 people are the "latest brutal reminder" that more must be one to defeat to so-called Islamic State (IS) militant group, she said.
The US and Europe should take a "harder look" at airport security protocols, and other "soft targets" that IS may attack.
Mrs Clinton also said proposal in Congress to make a national commission on encryption could help fight online radicalisation.

The Australian government says it will hold an early election in July if the Senate fails to pass two labour
The Australian government says it will hold an early election in July if the Senate fails to pass two labour reform bills.
This comes after the Senate rejected the bills that aimed to re-establish a construction industry watchdog and regulate how unions are managed.
Australia’s Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull, has now asked the Governor-General to recall both houses of parliament on April 19 to deal with the measures.
Failure to pass the laws, according to the PM, would provide a double dissolution election trigger.
Mr Turnbull is also bringing the government’s budget announcement forward to May 3.
According to BBC, the Prime Minister said: “The time has come for the Senate to recognise its responsibilities and help advance our economic plans, rather than standing in the way.
“This was the fifth review the bills have undergone,” he said, insisting that “the time for playing games is over”.
CPC Orders MTN To Pay 1.85m Naira To Promo Winner
CPC has directed MTN Communications Limited to pay 1.85 million Naira to one of the winners of its Ultimate Wonder Promo for lack of due diligence.
The order of the Consumer Protection Council (CPC) came on the heels of a complaint brought by Mr Omeje Fidelis against the mobile telecommunications giant that he had been underpaid after he was declared winner of two million Naira in the said sales promotion held in 2012.
According to Omeje, he participated in the promo and was called through MTN line 180 on October 10, 2012, that he had won two million Naira in the Ultimate Wonder Promo and that on October 12 of the same year, he got a text message informing him of the presentation ceremony fixed for October 19 at the Nicon Luxury Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
The complainant asserted that during the said ceremony, he was presented with a dummy cheque of two million Naira with his name on it while he was interviewed as well as paraded before the media and the world as a winner of the said amount.
He recounted further that he was stunned to receive another call from MTN line 180 on November 2, 2012 that his winning was 150,000 Naira and was thereafter, given a Verve ATM card for that amount.
In its response to the Council’s intervention, MTN denied the claim of Omeje, saying that he was from the on-set informed that his winning was 150,000 Naira and that the complainant deceitfully presented himself when winners in the two million Naira category were called forward on the day of the prize presentation.
The company stated further that Omeje’s antics were discovered at the verification of winners, which was done after the ceremony and he was thereafter, contacted through its 180 line on his misrepresentation pursuant to which he apologised.
But the CPC demanded for the call data of the communications of October 10, 2012, when Omeje was informed of his winnings of 150,000 Naira but MTN failed, refused and neglected to comply with the request made both in 2012 and 2016.
In its orders, the Council frowned at the consistent refusal of MTN to provide “the call data records evidencing details of communication with the complainant”, declaring that “in the absence of this material evidence, which is solely in the possession of the respondent, the CPC must resolve the issue in favour of the complainant”.
It further declared that “the process of the MTN Ultimate Wonder Promotion whereby the verification exercise was conducted after winners were identified, declared and winnings presented publicly is grossly flawed, lacking in transparency, inequitable and apparently calculated to deceive consumers”.
The CPC, on the strength of these observations, directed the MTN to pay within 14 days of receipt of its order, the sum of 1,850,000 Naira “Being the unpaid part of the two million Naira prize won by the complainant in the 2012 MTN Ultimate Wonder Promotion”.
Commenting on the issue, the Council’s Director General, Mrs Dupe Atoki, reaffirmed the obligation of businesses to desist from promos that are not honest, transparent, equitable and faithful or designed to deceive consumers.

Buhari, Oil Workers Meet To Tackle Petrol Scarcity
President Muhammadu Buhari has held a meeting with the leaders of the NUPENG and PENGASSAN behind closed doors in the Presidential Villa, Abuja to promote peace and harmony in the oil and gas sector.
Briefing reporters after the meeting on Wednesday, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, said the meeting reviewed the oil industry and looked at how to end the petrol scarcity.
He said that the President, who had headed the sector before, shared some of his thoughts and possible solutions to the challenges.
Dr Kachikwu told reporters that the government was looking to see how it could get foreign exchange input to help in cushioning the crisis of petroleum supply.
“The President and I discussed extensively this morning and we talked about how to allocate more crude because His Excellency will rather have less crude, but having individuals in the society not suffer than have more crude and have them continue to suffer.
“We are going to put a new model to enable us increase the pace and actually get measures, as part of the crude that we are entitled to, to apply some of those to bringing in more product so that the role of the NNPC will go back to what it has the capacity to do.
“If we do that, I will expect that over the next two months we should see quite frankly, an elimination of this,” he explained, referring to the petrol scarcity currently being experienced across the oil-rich nation.
“Make Nigerians Smile Again”
He further said that the government’s strategy in tackling the shortfall of supply was to reserve some refined products.
“Whatever is produced in the refinery will not go for sale. We are going to put that into strategic reserve.
“The key problem here is, because there is no reserve, anytime there is a gap in supply it hits us,” he stated.
The President is said to have tasked the workers in the oil sector to be agents of change and to ensure they take change on its head and make it happen.
The National President of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas (NUPENG), Igwe Aghaeze, said they discussed the issue of the petrol scarcity and the Petroleum Industry Bill at the meeting.
“We discussed how the oil sector will bounce back economically and make Nigerians smile again.
“Keenly we talked much more on the issues of the corruption in the oil and gas sector vis-a-vis the product allocations which we (NUPENG and PENGASSAN) are trying to do together.
He said that the President assured the unions that they would be part of the restructuring that would be made to address the issues and ensure that scarcity is out of Nigeria’s fuel service stations.
On his part, the President of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), Olabode Johnson, also recognised the fact that the President was not new in the sector and expressed optimism that he was capable of introducing the magic wand that would change the ugly situation.
Nigerians will be watching and waiting to see the queues disappear completely in a country said to be one of the biggest oil producers in the world.
It is only then that they will believe that the meeting had a fruitful deliberation.
