Sharjah: H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairman of the Sharjah Executive Council (SEC), presided over the Council's meeting on Tuesday morning at the Ruler's Office. During this session, the SEC focused on development plans aimed at improving the quality of life across the emirate.
According to Emirates News Agency, the Council emphasized the importance of coordination among all entities to implement Sharjah's development plans effectively. A decision was made to promote Yousef Obaid Ahmed Al Tunaiji to Director of the Sharjah Social Security Fund (SSSF), aligning with the government's special jobs system.
