• Opening a new college: Nazim said he would collaborate with the education sector to open a new college in the region, which would offer quality education and contribute to the intellectual and academic growth of the region's youth.


• Developing specialized hospital departments: Nazim said he would develop a hospital with specialized departments focusing on major diseases, which would provide better medical services and facilities for residents.
