He said inequality, lesser opportunities, unemployment and low quality education lead the people towards adopting corrupt means to become successful.

He urged the students to express zero tolerance for corruption and play their role for inculcating positive behaviour and good deeds in their surroundings.

The students must play pivotal role in promoting awareness and taking steps for eradication of corruption to make the country prosperous, he said.

He said NAB has urged all the universities to join hands in its endeavours to eliminate corruption, however, QAU has taken initial step in this regard which is appreciable.
