Musa said the procurement was approved by the State Executive Council during its meeting on Monday.
“The State Executive Council on Monday approved a Memorandum presented by the Ministry of Special Duties for the award of a contract for procurement of grains as palliative support for residents in the 1445AH/2024 Ramadan Season.
