Awami League (AL) General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Thursday said technology-based economy is progressing in the country under the leadership of Bangabandhu's grandson Sajeeb Wazed Joy, who is dubbed as the architect of Digital Bangladesh, reports BSS.
"Materialisation of Digital Bangladesh creates employment opportunities for millions of youths in ICT sector," he said in a greeting message to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy on his 53rd birthday on behalf of AL.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said visionary leader Sajeeb Wazed Joy is taking ahead the country using the youth's innovativeness and enthusiasm.
Noting that half of the country's total population is youth, the minister said Joy has remarkable contributions to making the youths' dreams, implementing their dreams and building them as entrepreneurs.
He is leading the youth in a planned way to prepare them for the fourth industrial revolution.
In the greeting message, Quader said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's grandson and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's son Sajeeb Wazed Joy was born on July 27 in 1971 during the country's great Liberation War.
After the assassination of Bangabandhu and most of his family members, Joy along with his mother Sheikh Hasina was in long exile, he said. Braving all odds, he received higher education and completed his Masters from Harvard University, Quader said.
In spite of being educated in a western country, no fascination could overwhelm him, he said.
Following the ideology of his grandfather Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Joy returned to the Bangalees and gave his acquired knowledge for the prosperity of the Bangalee nation, he mentioned.
The AL general secretary said under the undisputed leadership of Bangabandhu, Bangalee nation achieved political emancipation through long struggle for independence and the great Liberation War in 1971.
Bangabandhu's illustrious daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina brought economic emancipation for the nation, he said.
