CM inaugurates Iqra University’s new campus

The terrorists want to attack our education system, but I want them to know that we stand united in our fight to defeat their nefarious plans, asserted Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah at the inauguration of Iqra University’s new campus in North Nazimabad on Wednesday.

Speaking of the Sindh government’s efforts towards improving the education sector, Murad stated that he had already imposed an emergency in the sector.

He also acknowledged that there existed a plethora of problems in the country’s education system, considering which the government thought it best to divide the department’s functions.

Taking the bureaucrats to task, the CM observed that the private education sector was dominated by bureaucracy but they had not been able to do any good. However, he lauded the IU administration’s efforts, particularly of IU’s vice president Dr Wasim Qazi for upping the varsity’s North Nazimabad campus’ standard.

Briefing media personnel over the metropolis’ development, Murad said the provincial government was resolving Karachi’s problems on a priority basis, and the city’s residents would soon get to see a lot of good changes.” He also guaranteed the repair of roads and cleanliness. A budget of $100 million, provided by the World Bank, would be spent on the city’s uplift, the CM claimed, adding, that the Sindh cabinet had the other day held a meeting to review the work on under-process and upcoming projects.

He condemned the killing of 62 police cadets at a training centre in Quetta. He was accompanied by education minister, Jam Mehtab Dahar, and advisor to CM on law, Barrister Murtaza Wahab. The inauguration was also attended by IU Chancellor Lt Gen (retd) Salahuddin Satti, IU Founder Chancellor Hunaid Hussain Lakhani and IU Vice Chancellor Dr Captain UAG Isani.
