Nawaz Sharif served two non-consecutive terms as Prime Minister of Pakistan from 1990-1993 and 1996-1999. During his terms, he focused on improving Pakistan's infrastructure and promoting industrialization to boost the economy and solve unemployment. Some of the major projects and policies he introduced included privatization initiatives, expanding industries like shipping and telecommunications, and large development projects such as the Ghazi Barotha Hydro Power Project and Gwadar Port. However, his popularity declined due to issues like an unpaid housing loan scandal and rising tensions with the military that ultimately led to his government being dismissed in 1999.
