He spoke to people at the ninth Iftar dinner at Governor House. He said IT education is important. He mentioned that IT students in Pakistan earn between Rs. 800,000 and Rs. 1 million each month.
The governor said anyone can join IT courses, no matter their age or education. He promised these courses will be free for everyone. He explained that Governor House used to work only when needed. Now, it focuses on helping people.
Governor Tessori said he wants to fix big problems in Karachi, like electricity, gas, clean water, and roads. Some government officials say these issues are not the governor’s job. Still, he has started IT courses, given out food bags, and provided motorcycles without government money.
