Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of Dubai Executive Council, H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and more honourable hosts at an Iftar dinner hosted at Zabeel Palace. Wahid Albalooshi recently graduated from the BCom (Human Resources Management) program at UOWD and was the top Emirati student of his class. He was one of a number of top Emirati students from across various education sectors, invited by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to attend the memorable event with the Royal family in celebration of their accomplishments. During his speech, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum honoured the achievements of his guests, motivating them to maintain their positions as top tier achievers thus contributing to the success and progress of the country. “Meeting with His Highness has left me with the right amount of ambition, motivation and national pride that has influenced my perspective of the future”, Wahid said.
