Speaking on the occasion Director Sales and Distribution Amer Aman Khan said "Warid strongly supports education and higher education in Pakistan and our gift to the GCU is one part of this important programme. Education is the foundation of a healthy society and Warid telecom believes that innovation in the telecom sector can make it easier and simpler to bring this essential service to Pakistanis of all ages and walks of life."
Speaking on the occasion, Professor Dr Muhammad Khaleeq-ur-Rahman said that the recent economic crunch has greatly affected the institutions of higher learning in Pakistan and there is a dire need that noted companies like Warid should come forward and support quality education in Pakistan.
