First real coup by PM IK. This is the story of merit he sold to us. Good to see him coming through on it. Finally!!!
Yes! This is the kind of talent we want returning home to Pakistan.
Privatisation score thus far: 0/10. First right decision. Let’s see what he can do with all the inertia of inaction. No doubt most challenging role. Bold man to accept the job in last year or so of current government.
good riddance
great choice. he’s created tremendous opportunity for enterprising entrepreneurs through work at national incubation centers. great contribution to start-up ecosystem.
Such amazing news for our country!! Alhumdulilah and MashaAllah!
Right man for the job. Sadly not much time left in this govt. What were they expecting from Mian Soomro?
Well deserved achievement. Congratulations. God bless him.
Thanks for the infomation.
Finally a truly competent professional to lead privatisation.
Saleem, we are counting on you.
