Professor Liman gave the commendation on Friday, 22nd August 2025, when she received the Association’s executives led by their President, Comrade Halima Abdulmajid, at her office in the Senate Building.

Professor Liman also praised the maturity of the part-time students, noting that unlike many groups, they have avoided protests and demonstrations.

Earlier in her remarks, Comrade Abdulmajid congratulated the Vice-Chancellor on her recent conferment of an Honorary Fellowship by the Centre for Business and Economic Research (CBER), Oxford University, London. She explained that the donations were part of the Association’s corporate social responsibility, aimed at supporting the University’s efforts in strengthening security and enhancing teaching and learning conditions.
