On the occasion of Eid Al-Adha, H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, has ordered a disbursement of AED5 million in financial rewards for fishermen belonging to the Ajman Co-operative Society for Fishermen.
This move is intended to encourage more UAE citizens to embrace the fishing profession. It also seeks to support fishermen in meeting their family’s needs and ensuring a respectable livelihood despite challenges.
Ahmed Ibrahim Al Ghamlassy, who serves as both the Chairman of the Ajman Crown Prince’s Office and the Chairman of the Society’s Board of Directors, clarified that this aid is specifically for citizens in Ajman with fishing licenses who are members of the cooperative.
Al Ghamlassy then lauded Sheikh Humaid’s support for fishermen and their families and his keenness to provide them with decent lives and advance the fishing profession.
He also congratulated H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman and H.H. Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of Ajman Executive Council on the occasion of Eid Al-Adha.
He emphasised that this generous grant, coinciding with a blessed religious occasion, brought joy to the hearts of fishermen and their families.
He described it as a reflection of the deep bond between the wise leadership and the people of the nation, and as a strong support for the Society’s efforts to preserve the maritime heritage and instill its value in future generations.
He added that the Society will continue to work with full dedication to elevate this time-honoured profession, providing everything needed to empower fishermen and ease their burdens, fulfilling the trust placed in them by the leadership and in appreciation of its unwavering support.
