The chief adviser’s special assistant on ICT and Telecommunications, Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, left Bangladesh for Germany on Saturday through Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.

HSIA executive director SM Ragib Samad, also Bangladesh Air Force group captain, said that Faiz Ahmed Taiyeb left Bangladesh for Germany by an Emirates flight EK 583 at about 9:55am on Saturday.

An official of the ministry said that he had taken farewell from both ICT and Telecom divisions on February 9 and February 10.

‘As the new lawmakers’ gazette has published, he will go back to his own work,’ he added.

Posts, telecommunications and information technology ministry’s public relations officer Jashim Uddin could not be reached over the phone despite several attempts. He also did not respond to a text message from New Age. 

On March 5, 2025, Yunus-led interim appointed Taiyeb as the special assistant to the chief adviser with the status of a state minister.

On January 14, 2026, Taiyeb was also appointed as a member of the board of directors at the Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

Taiyeb graduated from the electrical engineering department at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology.
