Islamabad: Prof. Dr. Ahmed Saad Alahmed, the president and acting rector of the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI), expressed satisfaction that renovation of hostels is going smooth during summer vacations.
“The university currently operates 13 hostels for male students and seven for female students, reflecting our continuous commitment to student welfare,” he said.
“During the vacations, we have almost completed renovation of hostels. And we have a fleet of about 100 buses. We arrange all these facilities because we take care of the needs of our students,” Prof. Dr. Alahmed said.
He said, “Young students are our strength. They need freedom. They are energetic. I am a psychologist and I understand that young people are eager to express themselves. I relish their fervor. It is our job that we teach these young souls that they must exercise their freedom but then they must not cross the line.”
He added, “At IIUI, we take pride in keeping our campus clean. We do not compromise on our basic principles. But in other matters, we go out of the way to facilitate our young students. This is how universities are run in developed countries.”
He said student is the center of attention at all levels at the IIUI. He said the university attracts female students the most because of its campus facilities. “The female students represent the university at national and international levels, breaking gender barriers, which serves our purpose,” he said, referring to Shereen Ali, Khadija Idrees, and Neha Fatima who represented the university at IBA-VIAC CDRC Vienna, an international platform focused on arbitration and dispute resolution.
Prof. Dr. Ahmed Saad Alahmed has steered the university into its 47th year with a big success.
