A. H. M. Nurul Islam

AHM Nurul Islam is a former Bangladeshi civil servant and former secretary to the Prime Minister's Office of Bangladesh during the government of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia. He served as the chairperson at Eastern Lubricants Blenders Limited. He was the chairperson of the Gas Transmission Company Limited.

Early life Islam was born on 12 August 1950 in Dewan Nagar, Hathazari Upazila, Chittagong District, East Pakistan, Pakistan. He completed his bachelor's in political science and master's in public administration at the University of Dhaka. In August 2003, he was appointed as an additional secretary to Prime Minister Khaleda Zia after being promoted. He was previously serving as her Private Secretary. The government claimed an internal inquiry cited suspicions regarding his conduct and possible links to political unrest surrounding opposition movements at the time. Investigators claimed that digital files and photocopied documents containing summaries of official matters were recovered during the inquiry. Drawing on his experience in the Prime Minister's Office, he alleged that influential political figures and associates interfered in public administration, appointments, and procurement decisions during the period. He also brought allegations against Shamim Iskander, the brother of Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.

After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, Islam was appointed administrator of UDDIPAN, chairperson of Gas Transmission Company Limited and Eastern Lubricants Blenders Limited in 2024 and 2025.

In May 2009, the Bangladesh High Court declared Islam's compulsory retirement unlawful after he filed a writ petition. The court held that although the government may retire employees in the public interest, the order against Islam had been used to place him under undue pressure. He also said that relevant authorities, including the government and the Anti-Corruption Commission, had been informed of suspected irregularities and possible money laundering linked to the case.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party government removed Islam from the post of chairperson at Eastern Lubricants Blenders Limited, a state-owned corporation.
