PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Shah Farman on Monday directed all provincial universities to justify budget before presenting in the Senate meeting for approval.
The budget of the universities would not be approved before financial audit and justification, he warned, while chairing third Senate meeting of the Women University Swabi at Governor House.
