Gulf Today, Staff Reporter

His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, said on the Direct Line programme on Sharjah TV: "We reassure our sons and daughters who ask about jobs… We have not forgotten you. The employment file is in my hands."

Sheikh Sultan added: "We have created 874 jobs for citizens in Sharjah Police from the beginning of 2022 and the number will amount to 1,500 jobs by end of the year."

As many as 450 citizens have been employed in Sharjah government departments out of 1,000 jobs which will be provided in 2022, besides 217 jobs, which were provided to citizens instead of those who retired and resigned.

Sheikh Sultan continued, "91 citizens were employed in the private sector, and the new projects in the emirate will provide 600 jobs until the end of 2022."
