The University President marked the start of the new academic year 2018-2019 by giving his address to the University

Dear colleagues

Dear students

May Allah's peace and blessing be upon you ..

All Praise and gratitude are due to Almighty Allah whose ultimate generosity has granted our sound and safe return to our University. As the hardest years of coerced displacement and compelled flee have gone away, and the start of our new academic year is marked; I extend my sincere gratefulness to your most appreciated efforts and dedication in fulfilling all your academic duties and goals which were not interrupted by the serious challenges we have all faced in the past blackjacking years. I fully recognize your deep commitment and collective endeavour to do your outmost in most extreme and dangerous conditions. A brave determination which I have marvelled at and highly acknowledge.

Today, we are marching on signalling a new milestone in the history of our University. The challenges are considerable, but so is the scale of our ambition. Although our University buildings infrastructures and equipment are severely damaged especially those of our laboratories, yet our progress is a head; whether in conducting novel research, developing our curricula or modernizing our teaching and learning processes to approach the fast-forward digital world. A mission that can only be accomplished, Allah willing, by your exceptional and collaborating efforts which I heavily rely on and demand, today and the years on.
