The Dhaka University (DU) yesterday bestowed "Blue" award on Musa Ibrahim, the country's first Mount Everest conqueror. The university authorities gave Musa the highest honour of DU on sports at a reception programme on its playground. A Blue is an award generally earned by sportspersons at a university. Addressing the programme, DU Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique said Musa represented the nation before the world communities conquering the Mount Everest. DU honoured him giving the 'Blue' for the achievement. Prof Mizanur Rahman, Registrar Sayed Rezaur Rahman and Director of Psychical Fitness Centre Prof Shawkutur Rahman were also present. They urged the young generation to get inspired following the extraordinary achievement of Musa. Musa Ibrahim urged interested people to run with him to conquer the Everest again in 2014. He also reiterated his vow to plant trees across the country to fight climate change impacts. The DU vice chancellor handed over the certificate and the award to Musa. Musa, also a former student of Institute of Education and Research (IER) of DU, put his foot on the top of the Mount Everest on May 23 this year.
