"Following the great success of the mGov training programme in 2014, we are keen to have individuals participating from all the emirates, as we begin the 2015 edition. By showcasing smart services, information technology, security applications and development we are enforcing the efficiency desired in the mGovernment initiative. It is encouraging to see the numbers of individuals actively participating in the programme and positively responding to our efforts. As such, we would like to thank the federal government bodies for their support and ongoing interest to achieve the vision of our nation," said Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of the UAE mGovernment.
