Prof Yunus starts office at CAO

Chief Adviser to the Interim Government Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus has started his office at the Chief Adviser’s Office (CAO), previously known as the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), at Tejgaon in the capital.

Chief Adviser's Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam confirmed the matter to BSS on Sunday.

The Sheikh Hasina government was toppled on August 5, 2024, in a student-people revolution. Later, on August 8, Nobel Peace Laureate and economist Prof Yunus was sworn in as the chief adviser to the interim government.

Since then, he has been holding his office at the State Guest House Jamuna here.

When ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country on August 5, the PMO was vandalised, rendering it unusable. Repair work was carried out there for 15 consecutive days and now it has been made suitable for the office of the chief adviser.

The nameplates of the PMO have already been changed inside and outside the office, while security measures have been tightened too.
