Imran Ismail said this while addressing at Dawood University Of Engineering & Technology (DUET)’s 9th convocation held at Jinnah campus in Karachi.
Encouraging them to find opportunities in their homeland, he asked the engineering graduates to become the pillars that Pakistan needed and entrusted them the responsibility of taking the nation forward.
“It’s time to pay back to the country which helped you to be what you are today. You should come forward and become an inspiration for others. Pakistan deserves to offer success stories to the world, which we have not been able to do over the years for one reason or another,” he added.
