Our goal to promote quality student leadership has been achieved. That’s why today, we have become a destination for the continent’s prominent student leaders who come here to benchmark our Students’ Guild for best practices. Today, I hosted the Guild President of the University of South Africa—the largest university in Africa with more than 370,000 students. He will also join @MakGuild as they celebrate 90 years of flourishing student leadership at Makerere. Welcome to Makerere President Nkosinathi Mabilane.

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe and President of Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center signing Memorandum of Understanding as other officials witness

I signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the President of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center at Sun Yat-sen University. We have agreed to collaborate in advancing ophthalmology at our two institutions. Remarkably, one in every six ophthalmologists in China is a graduate of the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, making it a leading global research hub in this field. I look forward to the fruits of our collaboration.
