LAHORE, Feb 22 (APP):Prime Minister’s Youth Programme Chairman Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan has emphasized the immense potential of the country’s youth, calling them a powerful asset to the nation.
Speaking at the Minna Bazaar and Job Fair 2025 held at Sabzazar Scheme on Saturday,

He noted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the country had been making significant progress, particularly in terms of youth empowerment and economic development.
“The youth are our most valuable asset, and together with them, we will fulfill the dreams of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Dr Allama Muhammad Iqbal for development of our country,” he stated.
The chairman commended the Punjab government for its initiatives under Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif leadership, especially those focused on educational reforms and enhancing students’ skills in Information Technology (IT).
“The Punjab government is playing a crucial role in shaping a skilled workforce, preparing our youth to face the challenges of the modern world,” he said.

Rana Mashhood expressed that such events like Mina Bazaars and job fairs 2025 provide a platform for young people to find suitable employment opportunities and gain access to vocational training that would enable them to earn a livelihood. He also noted that such fairs and bazaars, which had been neglected by previous governments, are being revived under the leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
“The development journey led by PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is continuing,” he said.
