(Retd.) Ahmed Zaheer, and IBA faculty, staff, students, and alumni.

The session started with the recitation from the Holy Quran. Dr. Iqbal conveyed the condolences to the family of Mr. Rizvi on behalf of the Former Dean and Director IBA Dr. Ishrat Husain. "Let me place on record my deep appreciation and gratitude to Rizwan for the assistance he rendered to me and the exceptional role he played in the turnaround of IBA. His sense of selfless dedication and hard work was unparalleled and exemplary and he is indeed a role model for others --particularly the younger staff--to follow. He further added, "As a person, he was an epitome of sharafat and humility. I wish there were more Rizwans in this country - selfless, humble, devoted to their job, honest and hardworking."

Dr. Iqbal also endorsed Dr. Husain's comments and explained the quality of his characters and his dedication towards the IBA, Karachi.
