4 March 2002 I commend the launching of the "Youth for the Future" initiative as a veritable tool for developing and harnessing the energies of our youth for the challenges of the future. I am delighted to note that the world has come to accept the inescapable fact that our youth are the best architects of the future and that the Commonwealth has, again, taken a lead in this area. The Government and people of Nigeria fully support the "Youth for the Future" and look forward to cooperating with the other members of the Commonwealth in achieving the objectives of the program. Our focus will be to strengthen our collective capacity to reduce poverty and to accelerate the transfer of skills and technology for the overall development of our societies.
