Law Minister Asaduzzaman has emphasized the need to reduce the trend of talented Bangladeshi engineers moving abroad and to create an environment that allows their skills and innovation to contribute to national development and industrialization. Speaking as the chief guest at an event held at the IEB building in Dhaka on Saturday, he said the government is prioritizing job creation, technology-based education, and innovation-friendly planning to achieve this goal.

He noted that Bangladeshi engineers have long played a leading role through their intellect, dedication, and professionalism, but many choose to settle abroad after gaining higher education and skills. The minister stressed that retaining this skilled workforce is essential for the country’s progress in development, industrialization, and technological advancement. He added that the proposed national budget gives top priority to education, particularly technical and technological fields.

Asaduzzaman also highlighted the importance of transparency, accountability, and cost-efficiency in implementing development projects funded by public money. He called on engineers to ensure earthquake-resistant, safe, and environmentally friendly infrastructure and to help build a modern, self-reliant Bangladesh.
