RIYADH — Governor of Yanbu Saad Al-Suhaimi gave away certificates of driving licenses for marine vehicles to 11 young Saudi women from the Yanbu governorate after they passed the theory and practical tests of the training program.

The ceremony was held at the Yanbu Cooperative Society for Fishermen, in the presence of the Assistant Commander of the Border Guard Sector in Yanbu Col. Abdullah Al-Balawi, Deputy Governor of Yanbu Faisal Al-Mutairi, and President of the Cooperative Society for Fishermen in Yanbu Hamed Al-Juhani.
