The MOHRE’s press release praised the co-operation shown by many companies operating in the energy & oil and electricity & gas sectors and their interaction with the Emiratisation acceleration initiative.

The press release also called on the establishments and companies operating in the two targeted sectors to deal with the Emiratisation file as a strategic choice and a national priority that has the support and follow-up of the wise leadership.
