Make youths skilled in technology: minister

The world is increasingly getting closer to the next technological revolution and Bangladesh has to take advantage of the situation by developing youths to be technologically skilled and knowledgeable.

Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal made the remark yesterday while speaking at a programme, marking the golden jubilee of Dhaka University’s (DU) Department of Accounting and Information System.

DU’s Accounting Alumni Association and the department jointly organised the programme at the university’s gymnasium.

The finance minister, who is also a former student of the department, was given a lifetime achievement award at the event.
