Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi has asked Sharjah Electricity Water and Gas Authority to give 4,500 Emiratis who get help from the emirate's social services a Dh400 discount on their water and electricity bills. The Sharjah Ruler called the radio show Al Khat Al Mubasher (The Direct Line) and announced it on Monday. He also said that Dh20 million would be set aside for renovating Emiratis' homes with eco-friendly technologies that help save electricity and water. Sheikh Dr. Sultan also said that the second and third phases of hiring Emirati teachers for private schools had begun. Sharjah started the "Sultan Al Qasimi Emiratisation Project" in 2019, which aims to help Emirati people find jobs in the private sector. Emiratis employed in the private sector will receive the same salaries as government employees, with the Sharjah government bearing the costs and expenses of salary differences between the sectors.
