ABU DHABI, SEPT 16, 2001 (WAM)--As part of its e-government initiative, Dubai Municipality is organising a seminar on +Security of Information in Dubai Municipality+ with the objective of briefing the civic body's senior officials on its security policy with regard to information flowing in and out of the municipality. Eng Hussein Nasser Lootah, assistant director-general of the municipality for Environment and Public Health Affairs and head of the E-Government Implementation Follow-up Committee at the civic body, said that the seminar would be held next Saturday at the municipality headquarters, according to reports in the UAE's dailies.
