“He is a committed Muslim and member of NASFAT who served the Society with his heart, might and resources bestowed on him by Allah (SWT). This is evident in his services in various committees/positions of the Society. He served on the board of TAFSAN Investments Limited (a subsidiary of NASFAT) and was the Business Secretary for four years, Vice President II and most recently, the Vice President I in the outgoing National Executive Council of the Society.

“He has thus served the Society for 12 unbroken years in various positions. He is bringing to the position over 30 years in management and leadership training, financial and capital market experience.”
