His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman, issued Law No. (4) of 2026 regarding human resources for the Ajman government, in a step that reflects the emirate’s directions towards developing the government system and enhancing the efficiency of human capital, which constitutes a qualitative leap in modernizing the government work environment, enhancing institutional efficiency, and establishing a legislative system for human resources that is more flexible, balanced, and responsive to professional and social changes.
