Chief Adviser of the interim government Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus called for creating scopes for youth to tap their immense potential. "Every youth (of Bangladesh) is a superpower. This youth can win the world," he told a programme, hosted by the Bangladesh Administrative Service Association (BASA), at Bangladesh-China Friendship Centre in Dhaka on Sunday (Feb 16) night, local media reported.
The Chief Adviser said the country's youths are a distinct generation, so doors must open for them. He said the power the youth of Bangladesh showed in the July uprising was a unique instance for the world.
Muhammad Yunus said Bangladesh has a huge population, which is not a burden at all but resources. "Due to emergence of technology, no human being is a burden now, every human is a resource – resources of innovation, resources of entrepreneurship and invention. We are powerful with these resources," he said.
Nothing that Bangladesh is now the eighth largest populated country in the world, the Chief Adviser said almost all countries of the world want to hire manpower from Bangladesh. He urged all to come forward towards building Bangladesh as an honest nation by preventing corruption at levels.
Finance Adviser Dr. Salehuddin Ahmed, Law Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul, Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md. Nahid Islam, Cabinet Secretary Dr. Sheikh Abdur Rashid, and BASA President and LGRD Secretary Md. Nazrul Islam also spoke at the event.
