“In this regard, I believe that it would be of great convenience to the people to be given the opportunity to assist mosques through Ooredoo m-Faisaa service,” he added.

Ooredoo’s CEO Al-Hamadi, who also spoke at the ceremony, said that the company always works towards building the Maldivian community and facilitating development by leveraging its resources.
