In his announcement, he stated: “Our university is more than just a place of learning; it is a thriving community where ideas, dreams, and aspirations come to life. Over the years, I have dedicated myself to making meaningful contributions to this institution. From pioneering the Wall of Fame, which honors outstanding administrators and lecturers, to launching the Digital Screen Initiative, which enhances communication and engagement across campus, my leadership will always be about innovation, inclusivity, and impact.”
