"Entrepreneurial Visionary Abubokor Hanip Marks Birthday, Pioneering Path in Tech Education and Empowerment"

It's often said that the sky's the limit, but for certain individuals, space becomes their frontier. Mr. Abubokor Hanip, a highly esteemed entrepreneur in Technology Education from the USA, exemplifies this mindset. As a Bangladeshi American, he stands as a source of immense pride for Bangladeshis everywhere. Happy Birthday to Mr. Abubokor Hanip!"Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Hanip has devoted himself to aiding others by providing education and valuable skills, particularly in IT. After graduating from a prestigious Engineering University in Bangladesh, he immigrated to the USA in the late nineties to pursue further education in Information Technology. Opting to become an entrepreneur over retaining a top position in a leading company, Mr. Hanip made this choice solely to share the skills and knowledge he had acquired through his own efforts.Since then, PeopleTech has successfully imparted IT skills to over 10,000 individuals, enabling them to secure high-level positions with six-figure salaries. Now serving as the Chairman and Chancellor of Washington University of Science and Technology, Engr. Abobokor Hanip has created opportunities for students worldwide to achieve their American Dream through a practical learning approach. His guiding principle remains the return on investment for the student. On this auspicious day we extend our heartfelt wishes to Mr. Abubokor Hanip for continued success in his endeavors. Happy Birthday.

Dhaka braces for massive exodus on Eid-Ul-Fitr

As Eid-ul-Fitr approaches, Dhaka, the bustling capital of Bangladesh, is gearing up for a significant exodus of its residents. According to a report released by the National Committee to Protect Shipping, Roads and Railways (NCPSRR) nearly 15 million people from greater Dhaka are expected to embark on journeys to visit their relatives during the festive season. Among them, a staggering 9 million individuals are anticipated to opt for road travel.The report highlights that these Eid travelers are dispersed across various districts of the Dhaka division, encompassing areas such as Dhaka North, Dhaka South, Gazipur, and Narayanganj city corporations. Approximately 60 percent of these travelers will take to the roads, while the remaining 40 percent will utilize waterways and railways to leave Dhaka.Released on Monday, April 1st, the report sheds light on the immense scale of movement expected during the Eid period. However, the general secretary of the organisation, Ashish Kumar Dey, cautioned that due to the lack of comprehensive data from relevant government and non-governmental bodies, the accuracy of the report might be subject to limitations.Despite the government's extensive preparations for facilitating smooth Eid travel, concerns persist regarding traffic congestion and road accidents. The latest population estimates provided in the report reveal that Dhaka division is home to approximately 44 million people, with significant populations in Dhaka North and Dhaka South city corporations, along with burgeoning numbers in Gazipur and Narayanganj.The report also underscores the challenges posed by inadequate road infrastructure in remote areas, with many roads still in poor condition despite government funding. During Eid, thousands of trucks and pickup vans laden with goods are expected to traverse major highways, increasing the risk of traffic jams and accidents. Additionally, toll collection points on national highways may further exacerbate travel woes.Nevertheless, the government has already issued directives to relevant authorities to ensure the smooth flow of Eid travel. Law enforcement agencies, including the police, have been mobilized to implement measures aimed at minimizing inconvenience and ensuring the safety of travelers.ends/Jakir
