“We are delighted to be adding these new options to our existing long list of value added services,” said Mohamed Nadjwani, Nawras Product Manager. He continued, “We know that many of our customers are particularly interested in sport and with this new service, they can now receive daily updates on all major events taking place around the world including the Olympics in August.”
