Abu Dhabi: The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department has achieved new milestones in its Emiratisation programme, with the number of UAE nationals reaching 775, against just 217 in 2006, an increase of 57 per cent.

Commenting on the intensified Emiratisation drive, Salah Al Junaiby, Director of the Human Resources Department, ADJD, said, "The Abu Dhabi Judicial Department's Emiratisation programme, which forms a crucial part of its strategy and vision, picked up considerable momentum in 2007 and 2008, across different sections. We are now organising specialised programmes to enhance the skills of the workforce in association with outside organisations and organising motivational programmes to attract as many nationals as possible."
