Muhammad Ayakub

Muhammad Ayakub is a prominent figure in the labor movement in Bangladesh, serving as the General Secretary of the Jamuna Oil Company Labor Union since 2010. He began his career in the company as a typist after his father's death and quickly rose through the ranks. Over the years, Ayakub has witnessed significant changes in the political landscape, shifting the union’s affiliation from the Awami League to the Workers' Party. His salary has seen substantial growth, reportedly increasing from 935 BDT in 1997 to over 85,000 BDT today, yet his lifestyle suggests a far more affluent existence, living in a luxury flat in Chittagong and owning various properties. His financial dealings have come under scrutiny, leading to investigations by the Anti-Corruption Commission regarding potential discrepancies in his reported wealth.
