President Zillur Rahman on Thursday urged the authorities of the country's private universities to extend all academic facilities to the students for ensuring quality education at their respective institutes.

He made the call when a three-member delegation of United International University led by its Chairman Hasan Mahmud Reza called on him at Bangabhaban here.

During the meeting, the President said it is the responsibility of all concerned to ensure that the poor but talented students are not deprived of getting higher education.

The delegation apprised the President about different activities of the university and invited him to chair the forthcoming first convocation of the university.

The President gave them a patient hearing and consented to chair the convocation.

The other two members of the delegation are university Vice- Chancellor Professor Dr M Rezwan Khan and member of the governing body Ahmed Ismail Hossain.

Concerned secretaries of the President office were present during the meeting.
