President Dr Mohamed Muizzu met with members of the B. Eydhafushi Island Council, the Women’s Development Committee (WDC) and heads of local institutions today, to discuss the island’s key development priorities. The meeting was held at the B. Eydhafushi Island Council Secretariat.
During the discussions, the Council members emphasised the urgent need to expedite the development of the sports complex and to connect water and sewerage services to the newly populated area at the earliest opportunity. They also highlighted challenges in securing skilled personnel for the health sector. In addition, the Council noted that as residents begin to settle in the new area, there will be greater demand on the electricity network. Waste management challenges were also raised, along with the importance of constructing a new building for the island’s school.
The Council further conveyed public appreciation for the introduction of solar energy in homes under the “My Solar” project and expressed the community’s interest in expanded opportunities to participate in the programme.
In response, President Dr Muizzu assured that the Government would review the concerns raised and work towards effective solutions. He also shared updates on ongoing development projects on the island, accompanied by Cabinet Ministers and heads of State-Owned Enterprises.
