American-Pakistani business tycoon Tanveer Ahmed donated $9 million to NUST to help students from poor backgrounds gain access to quality education through scholarships.
The business tycoon said he "was excited & thrilled when I came to know about the vision of COAS, who is passionate about the IT Sector. I believe that with the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC) in which the army has assumed an active role, it's a brilliant approach to unlock the true IT potential of Pakistan."
"The steps taken by General Asim Munir are commendable and inspiring. No army chief has done as much as Gen Munir has done in just one year for the IT sector of Pakistan and for a clean national economy. He has taken excellent steps to put Pakistan’s economy on the right course.
