The Vice Chancellors of multiple public universities in Sindh are reportedly requesting extensions amid controversy involving the extension granted to the daughter of the former Sindh chief minister, Syed Qaim Ali Shah. Prof. Dr. Nusrat Shah, the Vice Chancellor of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Medical University Larkana and daughter of the former chief minister, is set to complete her first four-year tenure on January 1, 2027.
A summary requesting her extension was reportedly delivered to the Sindh chief minister, who reportedly approved it shortly before her tenure expired. This timing has raised questions among other university leaders whose terms are also nearing conclusion. The matter has now become another challenge for the Sindh chief minister, who holds authority over public universities in the province.
The government recently granted an extension for the Vice Chancellor of Jinnah Sindh Medical University, Dr. Amjad Siraj Memon. However, extensions for Dr. Khalid Iraqi and Dr. Farooq Hassan were reportedly denied. Several other Vice Chancellors' tenures are set to end in the coming months, including Dr. Ikramuddin Aijaz at Liaquat University, Dr. Zahid Hussain Khand at Aror University, Dr. Arbela Bhutto at Shaheed Allah Buksh University, Dr. Asif Sheikh at IBA Sukkur, and Dr. Taha Hussain at Mehran University.
The tenures of Tehmina Nungraj at Nusrat Bhutto Women University and Dr. Samreen Hussain at Dawood Engineering University are also set to expire soon.
