From a successful businessman and a well-known TV anchor, businessman Annisul Huq rose to become the first mayor of Dhaka North City Corporation.
It was a goodbye that came too early as the curtain came down on the colourful life of the 65-year old former FBCCI president at London’s Wellington Hospital on Thursday.
Besides readymade garments trade, the business ventures of the two-time BGMEA president’s Mohammadi Group range from
power generation to ICT and real estate.
It also owns DigiJadoo Broadbrand Limited, a cable TV distributor, and Nagorik TV channel.
With no apparent political ties, Annisul was a surprise pick by the Awami League to run for the mayoral election in 2015.
In his election manifesto, he had promised to make Dhaka a clean, safe and ‘smart’ city.
Born in his mother’s ancestral village of Sonapur at Sonagazi in Feni on Oct 27, 1952, Annisul Huq graduated in economics from Chittagong University.
