ISLAMABAD: The federal government has appointed Moinuddin Ahmed Wani, an officer of the Customs Service Group, director general of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), replacing Dr. Shahnaz A.

Riaz.

Secretary Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) Khalid Hanif talking to Dawn confirmed that the government had appointed a new DG of FDE.

Sources said that Dr Shahnaz A. Riaz had been transferred to the National Institute of Science and Technical Education (NISTE) as deputy director general.

They said that Shahnaz was removed from her position over her failure to improve Islamabad`s educational institutions, which are facing multiple issues.

Meanwhile, the government has also appointed new joint secretary in Ministry of CADD, who will supervise the FDE` affairs.

`The prime minister office and senior officers at CADD were not satisfied with the performance of DG FDE that`s why she has been removed,` said a senior officer of CADD.

In November last year, the federal government had appointed Aamir Ashraf Khawaja as DG FDE in place of temporary DG Qaisar Majid Malik. However, he was replaced when Supreme Court restored Shahnaz.-A Reporter
