Pakistan: Wapda Chairman Lt Gen (retd) Muzammil Hussain quits, states personal reason
Lahore: Lt Gen (retd) Muzammil Hussain has quit as Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) chairman after serving in the office for more than five years, media reports said on Sunday.
The Wapda chief was first appointed to the post on August 24, 2016, by the then prime minister Nawaz Sharif for five years. Later, the PTI government extended his term for another five years in 2021, reports The News International.
Muzammil Hussain stated 'personal reason' as the cause behind taking the decision.
Muzammil Hussain told Geo News he is resigning from the post due to “some personal reasons” and will talk in “detail” after the acceptance of his resignation.
“I have sent my resignation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Right now I can not share details for quitting,” he said, adding that during his tenure he worked on several important projects related to water resources and made Wapda self-reliant.
