We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the first Know The Glow (KTG) Student Chapter in Africa, hosted by Bayelsa Medical University (BMU) in Nigeria! This groundbreaking milestone was made possible through the visionary leadership of Dr. Chiwendu Green and the unwavering dedication of BMU’s passionate optometry students.
We extend special recognition to Praise Ebure, an optometry student and President of the BMU KTG Chapter; Alao Divine Tiwatope, a committed optometry student; Pemije Gadimoh, Founder of OPTOGLOBE and KTG Global Student Ambassador; and Dr. Afe Victor Dania from the Department of Optometry, Faculty of Health Science.
Our deepest gratitude goes to the entire Bayelsa Medical University fraternity for embracing this meaningful partnership and for their leadership in advancing awareness of childhood blindness across Nigeria.
This collaboration marks a powerful step forward in our shared mission to ensure every child has access to early detection and care. We can’t wait to witness the impact this pioneering chapter will make!
