In Lagos, Bethesda School for the Blind emerged victorious in the eighth edition of the “You Can Be Their Eyes” Bible Quiz, organised by the Bible Society of Nigeria.
The competition, held in the capital, brought together blind and visually‑impaired students from across the country to test their knowledge of biblical passages and themes. Bethesda School for the Blind, known for its specialised education programmes, secured the top prize, outperforming a field of strong contenders.
Organisers praised the students’ dedication and the school’s commitment to inclusive learning. The Bible Society of Nigeria highlighted the event as a platform to encourage spiritual growth and academic excellence among visually‑impaired learners.
Bethesda School for the Blind has long been a leading institution for blind education in Nigeria, offering a range of programmes that combine academic instruction with life‑skills training.
With Nigeria being Africa’s most populous country, initiatives such as this quiz underscore the importance of providing equal educational opportunities for all citizens, regardless of physical ability.
