Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary called upon the private universities along with the public universities to lay more emphasis on research work.

He made the call at the silver jubilee of Asian University of Bangladesh (AUB) joining it virtually from his official residence on parliament premises.

Quader urged the youth to make their efforts to become entrepreneurs without only searching for jobs.

The government has been promoting the youths to become entrepreneurs and it kept open multidimensional opportunities for them to be entrepreneurs, he added.

“Don’t keep your strength and potentials confined to jobs rather you should choose independent professions to provide jobs to others,” he advised the youths.

Mentioning that youths are the future leaders of Bangladesh, he said the young generation would implement the dreams of independence.
