A seminar and awareness walk focusing on the fight against corruption were organised at King Edward Medical University in collaboration with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
The event, titled “Uniting with Youth Against Corruption,” aimed to promote honesty, transparency, and self-accountability among students, encouraging them to play a positive role in building a corruption-free society. Faculty members and students attended the seminar in large numbers.
The programme began with the recitation of the Holy Quran followed by the national anthem, setting a formal and patriotic tone for the event.
Vice Chancellor Professor Mahmood Ayaz, in his address, said that corruption weakens both the state and society. He emphasised that transparency, respect for the law, and self-accountability are essential for national progress. He urged students to adopt honesty in their personal and professional lives to help build a stronger and more transparent Pakistan.
NAB Lahore Additional Director Atiya Azmat highlighted that the organisation’s mission extends beyond accountability to include awareness and prevention. She encouraged students to actively contribute to character-building efforts and support initiatives aimed at eliminating corruption.
In his concluding remarks, Professor Muneeb Ashraf thanked NAB for its collaboration and noted that such initiatives help foster a sense of social responsibility among students. He added that the university would continue awareness campaigns in the future.
The event concluded with an awareness walk on the university campus, where students and faculty participated enthusiastically, spreading the message, “Say No to Corruption.” The initiative reflected a shared commitment that responsible and honest youth are key to a transparent and developed Pakistan.
