He also inspected lecture halls, classrooms, and laboratories to ensure the readiness of faculty members and teaching assistants for a smooth and effective educational process.

In an open dialogue with students, the President emphasized that knowledge is the cornerstone of building nations and strengthening their stature and influence. He directed faculty deans to organize orientation programs for new students to help them integrate into university life, familiarize them with academic programs, and highlight the dual degree agreements the university has signed with leading international institutions—aimed at graduating highly competitive professionals on a global scale.
