Gomal staff and students urge Zardari to extend Dr. Bitani’s efforts to counter corruption

Educationists have appealed to the government to appoint Dr. Riaz Ahmed Betni as the Education Advisor for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

PESHAWAR: Educationists have appealed to the government to appoint Dr. Riaz Ahmed Betni as the Education Advisor for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He is the most senior administrative officer at Gomal University, the Director of Admissions and the Business Incubation Center, and a country director for Asia nominated by the Government of China. He is also an education expert.

His new “Skill-Oriented Earn and Learn” philosophy of education, which combines skills and degrees, has emerged as a new way of thinking for the traditional education system and has gained recognition at national and international levels.

Dr. Riaz Ahmed Betni’s respect for the law, his patriotism, and his ability to think outside the traditional system sometimes make some people jealous and dislike him. However, it is in the interest of the state and the government to benefit from his abilities.

He is a crusader who waged war against corruption at Gomal University and initiated the process of purge of this institution. All government bodies from FIA to Anti-Corruption Authority, HED to NAB now have been investigating sale and purchase of jobs, smuggling of drugs in hostels, free use of fire arms by security staff on campus and fake degrees.
Gomal University Vice Chancellor Zafar Iqbal, in whose first year all these corruption cases popped up, was sent on forced leave for three months so that he is not able to impede the process of law. However, his leave ended when the provincial government was about to be removed and in this testing time, he took it upon himself to occupy his office from acting VC Naimatullah Babar.

Staff and students of Gomal University have appealed to President Asif Zardari to bring Zafar Iqbal and his alleged accomplices to justice and recover from them about one and a half billion of rupees they allegedly earned by selling about 600 jobs from Grade 1 to 21 in just one year.
