A productive and committed worker

The 32-year-old Emirati's achievement was recognised by the Dubai Government Excellence Programme (DGEP) Awards.
"I studied at the Dubai Centre for Special Needs and obtained a bachelor's degree in Islamic Studies from UAE University. I faced many challenges in my work as a messenger, but I'm grateful to my colleagues and family who supported me and made me stand here among the winners today," Najiba said.
I didn't imagine being honoured

"I calculate and write the Hijri calendar, in addition to setting the prayer timings. I didn't imagine being honoured for doing my work. I am very happy," the 48-year-old Pakistani national said.
