“Shaikh Mohammad has always inspired every UAE citizen to improve at all levels, and his message to public servants is to ensure we serve our country to the best of our ability, and take the UAE to greater heights, by keeping abreast with modern developments, while at the same time preserving our own culture. These awards inspire us to achieve greater success in our roles while serving the public.”
