Biden Pledges Support for Recovery from Hurricane Helene
President Joe Biden has shared an update on efforts to restore power and clear debris in communities affected by Hurricane Helene.
According to Biden, “We’re making progress restoring power and removing debris in communities impacted by Hurricane Helene – but there’s still more work to do.”
Currently, 8,500 federal personnel and 1,500 troops are working tirelessly on the ground to support recovery efforts.
Over $507 million in assistance has been provided to survivors, and the president assured that more resources will be sent as needed to speed up recovery.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is leading the response, coordinating with state and local governments to ensure survivors receive shelter, food, and medical aid.
Alongside FEMA, the National Guard troops are assisting in clearing roads and rebuilding vital infrastructure, especially in the hardest-hit areas.
Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation across the affected regions, leaving thousands without power and displacing many families.
The administration’s focus remains on restoring normalcy to these communities and providing continuous aid.
The federal government is also working with local utilities to expedite the restoration of power, which is essential for bringing life back to normal.
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
