The Bangladesh Postal Department has officially taken over the responsibility of Nagad, said a press release.
In this regard, an 8-member committee has been formed, headed by Md Abu Taleb, director of the department.
The committee also includes Postal Department director Md Aminur Rahman, Postal attache SM Wadudul Islam, programmer Md Moniruzzaman, DPMGs Sanjit Chandra Pandit, Md Shaheduzzaman Sarkar, Khandaker Shahnur Sabbir and AKM Moniruzzaman.
The decision comes as the central bank鈥檚 appointment of an administrator to Nagad remains suspended in the wake of a court order. Since Nagad operates under a revenue-sharing agreement with the Postal Department, the responsibility has now shifted to the department authorities.
According to an office order issued by the Postal Department on Thursday, the directive to take over the overall operations of Nagad was given by Faiz Ahmad Taiyeb, special assistant to the chief adviser, following a Supreme Court Appellate Division order that stayed the appointment of an administrator by the Bangladesh Bank.
