Allah has bestowed this great honour upon me to lead NUST as its Rector.

As we embrace the future with a shared vision, our primary focus shall remain on equipping the next generation with world-class knowledge. Simultaneously, we shall emphasise internationalisation, interdisciplinary collaboration and foster cutting-edge research and innovation that align with national growth and collective progress.

Insha Allah, we shall also endeavour to nurture students and participants grounded in the principles and values as envisioned by our founding fathers. As a prestigious seat of learning, our contributions shall also focus on public policy and grooming of leadership that shall facilitate social harmony, rule of law and address other domestic challenges leading to sustainable peace and prosperous future.

I look forward to working alongside each member of NUST community. If you aspire to be a part of this ecosystem, I warmly welcome you to join NUST in any capacity as a student, faculty, researcher, innovator or partner, and contribute to the service of our beloved country.

May Allah be our GUIDE in all future endeavours. Ameen.
