Suugo linguistics time
I think Taabba + geliyay = put into the tab (money bill record)
So literally "Dahabshiil has put the Weydiimo program on its tab"

Put into the tab?

@cunug3aad it’s the same root as tababar and tabar. Tababar basically means strength or capacity building. Thus tabagaliyay means sponsorship or something closely related.

Oops, yes, tacab geliyay. I assumed ‘tabac geliyay’ morphed into ‘taaba geliyay’ with other dialects.
