We remain steadfast in our move towards developing more unique electronic and smart services that support the visions and aspirations of the country’s wise leadership. This new e-service represents part of our continuing commitment and support for the government’s efforts to achieve 100 per cent customer happiness and satisfaction and to drive in improved efficiency, reliability and effectiveness in terms of government performance, which serves the objectives of Dubai Plan 2021—positioning the emirate as a global trailblazer that is recognized for its quality of life and excellence in governance,” concluded Al Mansouri.
