In his speech, Prof. Dr. Ashraf Heniegal, President of the University, affirmed that this commemoration comes during the blessed month of Ramadan, renewing the pledge of loyalty to the sacrifices of Egypt’s noble sons. He noted that the martyrdom of Major Abdelrahman Ezzeldin during the blessed days of last Ramadan remains a testament to sincerity in service and devotion to the homeland.
Dr. Heniegal further explained that the university’s role is not limited to academic education; it also seeks to instill faith and spiritual values and to connect generations with the Holy Qur’an, so that knowledge and faith remain the two wings upon which the nation rises. He also emphasized that Egypt’s stability is the result of enlightened national vision and immense sacrifices. The university, he added, believes in its national mission, which is fulfilled through close cooperation with state institutions—particularly the Suez Governorate—in serving the community and advancing its development.
