Early life

Hussain Nawaz Sharif has never been a political figure nor a public office holder. He left Pakistan in 1992 for Higher education. He graduated in Law from LSE and was also called to the bar from Lincoln’s Inn. He returned to Pakistan in 1996 and joined his family business. However, his grandfather transferred him to Sharif Trust, the former’s dream project. Hussain not only built the Sharif Educational Complex but also the Sharif Medical City. There are several institutes working under the umbrella of the Sharif Trust. He also started the Sharif Trust Educational Programme (STEP) for LLB degree under the University of London external Programme teaching. Many famous people, including anchor Muneeb Farooq and the controversial PM’s Advisor on Accountability Mirza Shehzad Akbar, got their LLB degrees through the Programme. Sharif Trust which was designated as an examination center by the University had to close STEP after the Sharif Family including Hussain Nawaz Sharif were illegally exiled from Pakistan in December 2000.[citation needed]
