By Michael Olugbode The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has launched a new activity designed to empower as many as two million young Nigerians with life skills and resources to realize their ambition. A statement by USAID on Monday said the five-year, $15 million Youth-powered Ecosystem to Advance Urban Adolescent Health Project (Adolescent Health) will help teens access reproductive health services within a holistic context of youth empowerment. It will be coupled with a deeper understanding of the challenges that adolescents face and implemented in Nigeria’s two largest cities, Lagos and Kano. The statement quoted USAID Health Office Director Paul McDermott to have said: “By investing in youth, USAID is helping prepare the next generation to lead Nigeria to a more healthy and prosperous society.”
