Sana’a – June 4, 2025 (8 Dhul-Hijjah 1446 AH)
Prof. Mohammed Ahmed Al-Bukhaiti, Sana’a University President, paid an inspection visit this morning to the Faculty of Commerce and Economics to review ongoing maintenance and renovation works across its facilities. He was accompanied by Prof. Ibrahim Al-Mutaa, Vice President for Academic Affairs, and Mr. Adel Al-Hababi, the President’s Assistant for Media Affairs.
During the visit, Prof. Al-Bukhaiti toured several key facilities, including lecture halls, training and testing laboratories, and the faculty library. He reviewed the progress made in the current maintenance works and praised the efforts aimed at improving the educational environment and strengthening the faculty’s infrastructure.
In a meeting with Dean Dr. Hani Al-Mughallis and members of the Faculty Council, the University President expressed his appreciation for the faculty’s longstanding contributions. He noted that many of its graduates now serve in leading positions across public institutions, and emphasized that institutional willpower is essential for achieving meaningful progress.
Prof. Al-Bukhaiti called for fostering a culture of mutual respect and appreciation between academic and administrative staff, highlighting the positive psychological impact of kind words in the workplace and their role in nurturing a collaborative team spirit—an essential foundation for effective educational leadership.
He also noted that Sana’a University has earned recognition in various international academic rankings in recent years. He attributed this achievement to the university’s continuous efforts to improve its undergraduate and postgraduate programs, as well as its commitment to enhancing all aspects of academic life within faculties and research centers.
Prof. Al-Bukhaiti commended both the former leadership of the faculty, represented by Dr. Mishaal Al-Reefi, and the current administration for their professional performance in managing one of the university’s largest faculties by student population.
