The President of the University of Basrah, Dr. Saad Shaheen Hammadi, was honored with the Shield of Excellence and Creativity from the Basra International Airport Administration for his great role in supporting the educational process and raising the name of the university in international forums, as well as his active contribution to community service.
The official of public relations and media at Basra International Airport, Mr. Nazem Al-Amiri, added that this honor came for the role of the university in providing logistical support to the airport, as the engineering effort and support staff at the University of Basrah, around the clock and for a period of three weeks, carried out a campaign to maintain Basra International Airport as part of loyalty to Iraq and the governorate.
The campaign included the maintenance of green spaces, where trees were pruned and palm trees were taken care of, along with the maintenance of the irrigation system. The campaign also included repairing the lighting and checking the desalination plant of the airport.
