Biden Applauds Kamala Harris as a Role Model and Inspiring Leader
President Joe Biden took to his X handle to share words of praise for Vice President Kamala Harris, applauding her leadership and character.
Reflecting on her journey and the role she played in the 2020 campaign, Biden expressed deep admiration for Harris, calling her a partner and public servant who embodies integrity, courage, and unwavering commitment to the American people.
Biden spoke about the historic nature of Harris’s vice presidency, recognizing her as a symbol of what is possible when led by values and a powerful vision for a just, inclusive nation.
He shared that selecting Harris was the first choice he made as the 2020 Democratic nominee, calling it the best decision of his campaign.
In Biden’s words, Harris’s journey mirrors America’s own story of perseverance and opportunity, standing as a testament to what can be achieved through determination and hard work.
Throughout his message, Biden emphasized Harris’s role as a leader for all Americans, stressing her ability to inspire future generations.
He noted how her life and achievements continue to serve as a beacon for many, particularly young girls and people of color, who see her success as proof that they, too, can rise to positions of influence and power.
Harris, a former U.S. senator and attorney general of California, has spent years advocating for justice and equality, championing causes such as healthcare access, criminal justice reform, and economic opportunities for underrepresented communities.
Her path as the first female, Black, and South Asian Vice President is one Biden sees as a defining chapter in America’s progress.
In his closing remarks, Biden expressed confidence in Harris’s ongoing work, saying he has no doubt she will continue her fight with a sense of purpose and joy.
Biden assured Americans that Harris would remain a strong advocate for their rights and opportunities, helping to shape a future of greater equality and unity.

FG Extends NYSC Orientation Camp From 3 to 6 Weeks
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.

The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
