New Building of Ayub College of Dentistry
The construction of new building of Ayub College of Dentistry was started more than a decade age under previous associate dean which has been stalled due to lack of interest and funding by the higher authorities and grey structure of the building laid dilapidated until recently when work at the construction site gained some momentum and plans for shifting of department is under consideration.
Dr. Naseem a senior officer infraorbital foramen injection specialist is fondly remembered not only as a dentist but also as the one-man construction crew behind the establishment of Ayub College of Dentistry. While officially hired for his dental expertise, legend has it that Dr. Naseem personally oversaw and in many cases, physically carried out - the installation of electricity, gas, plumbing, and just about everything else that kept the building from collapsing.His "sacrifices" for the college are so frequently mentioned that students half-expect to find his name not only on the faculty roster but also on the utility bills. While it is true that the electricity occasionally flickers, the gas sometimes refuses to flow, and the plumbing still has "mood swings," his tireless sacrifices remain the stuff of legend. Students and staff often joke that without Dr. Naseem's efforts, the college might never have been built.Also he has volunteered his phone for surveillance cameras so that effective measures can be taken for college security
