KARACHI: Noted educationist Abdul Wahab breathed his last on Tuesday at Karachi's Aga Khan University Hospital following a protracted illness.

Wahab, who served the nation without fearing anyone, was among the few successful VC's in the history of KU who made the changes on a better note. Wahab completed his master’s in business administration from the IBA and obtained another from Indiana in the United States of America. The deceased also had a doctorate degree from the University of British Columbia in Canada.
