Fayez Ahmad Tayyeb, the Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on ICT, has sharply criticized the Awami League for what he described as severe technical deficiencies in the implementation of national mega projects. In a verified Facebook post, he highlighted that the design of Dhaka Airport’s Third Terminal lacked essential telecommunication and data infrastructure, calling the oversight a ‘technical disaster.’ Tayyeb detailed multiple design flaws, including the absence of plans for indoor telecom coverage, optical fiber ducts, and dedicated spaces for data centers and routers. He argued that these omissions would force engineers to retrofit critical systems outside the original design, increasing costs and reducing efficiency. His remarks suggested that the project prioritized aesthetics over functionality, relying heavily on foreign contractors. The comments have sparked debate over the government’s project management and technical oversight. Analysts warn that such gaps could undermine the long-term operational capacity of key infrastructure. The government has yet to issue an official response to the criticism.
