Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Professor Niaz Ahmed Khan announced that he wants to step down from his post.
He made the announcement around 3pm during a press briefing held at the Professor Abdul Matin Chowdhury Virtual Classroom, adjacent to the vice-chancellor’s office.
He said: "I will seek relief from my deputation, and I will return to my primary role as a teacher in the Department of Development Studies."
Dr Niaz Ahmad Khan also served as the pro vice-chancellor of Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB).
Following the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, 2024, Professor Maksud Kamal, then vice-chancellor, resigned on August 10.
