This decision reflects recognition of his academic, intellectual, political, and institutional expertise, as well as an extension of his sustained contribution to the university’s trajectory. Furthermore, it draws upon his background in governance, management, and strategic planning to support the institution’s mandate to enhance its academic and administrative performance and consolidate its presence at both national and international levels.
Academic and professional credentials underline this appointment, as Dr Nasereddin holds a PhD in business administration, specialising in strategic planning and governance. He possesses extensive experience across academia, policy design, and organisational development, alongside notable contributions to higher education enhancement and institutional performance initiatives.
Significantly, his assumption of the chairmanship coincides with a period of rapid transformation within the higher education sector. This landscape necessitates elevated standards in pedagogy and scientific research, the integration of technological innovation, alignment between educational outcomes and labour market requirements, and expanded collaboration with commercial and industrial sectors.
Against this backdrop and leveraging his background in institutional capacity-building and policy formulation, Dr Nasereddin is expected to advance the Board of Trustees’ role in establishing the university’s strategic trajectory, strengthening its adaptability within the evolving higher education landscape, and fostering partnerships with public and private sector institutions to reinforce its role in national development.
