Ali Muhammad Khan Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs speech at Ground Breaking Ceremony of UCI Campus
I feel greatly honored today, that University College of Islamabad, where I studied for my LLB, has invited me for the groundbreaking ceremony of its new purpose-built campus.
I have my fond and cherished memories of studying at UCI. It
was somewhere in September 2005 when I came to Islamabad and got in touch with
Barrister Masroor Shah. He is a good friend of mine. I shared with him my idea
of doing LLB. He advised me to go for LLB from the University of London (UOL).
I told him that I could not afford to go to the UK. Then he told me that I could
study the LLB of UOL in Islamabad. We visited all institutes of Islamabad offering
the Law. I remember him saying, while we were sitting in a coffee shop that if
I was really serious about my study I should go to UCI. However, if I wanted
to party I could go to any other institute.
UCI was the trendsetter and provided us with an exciting and
enabling environment and a great opportunity to study. We were treated there just
like members of an extended family.
I feel happy that UCI is growing, In Sha Allah, it will keep
on developing and maintaining its high standards. I hope that my children will
also come to UCI to study once they are grown up.
When I had my first meeting with the Prime Minister Imran
Khan back in 2013, I shared with him my vision of building a number of
universities with high academic standards and excellent learning and research
facilities like Oxford, Cambridge, London, Harvard universities and MIT in
Pakistan.
Furthermore, it is also my dream to improve the employment sector of
Pakistan so that graduates from the advanced countries would come to Pakistan
for seeking Jobs.
I strongly recommend young aspiring students to join UCI, it
is an excellent place to study as it provides an enabling environment for
intellectual development. I will be happy to support UCI in its noble mission
and endeavors for the cause of quality education.
