President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has pledged to end exclusionary policies and implement a citizen-centric approach to achieving national development goals.
Speaking to residents of Kamadhoo Island during his ongoing tour of Baa Atoll, the President noted that the island had previously been somewhat neglected and stressed his determination to change that.
Reaffirming his commitment to inclusivity, President Dr Muizzu said his Administration would adopt a citizen-focused model and deliver tangible results. He also reiterated his commitment to the numerous development projects planned for the island, particularly in health, education, and sports, and confirmed that work on the football grounds would proceed as promised.
Highlighting Kamadhoo’s strong local tourism sector, the President expressed full support for incorporating residents’ feedback into the island’s road construction plans. He also pledged to find a sustainable solution to land erosion and confirmed plans for the construction of the island’s harbour.
During the ceremony, two significant agreements were signed to advance the island’s development. The first, for the construction of a new school facility, was signed by Minister of Education Dr Ismail Shafeeu and Managing Director of Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation Hamdhan Shakeel. The second, introducing seaplane services to the island, was signed by Managing Director of Island Aviation Services Limited Ibrahim Iyas and Director of Hawks Hotel Hussain Aman.
Commenting on the agreements, the President said the new school building would meet the island’s educational resource and space needs, while the seaplane operations would help boost the local economy.
The President began his four-day tour of Baa Atoll on Monday morning. He is scheduled to visit 13 inhabited islands, accompanied by several Cabinet ministers and heads of selected Government agencies.
