President Dr Mohamed Muizzu met with members of the B. Goidhoo Island Council, the Women’s Development Committee (WDC), and heads of local institutions today to discuss the island’s pressing development priorities. The meeting took place at Goidhoo School.
Council members underscored the need to upgrade the island’s health centre and establish additional facilities. They also voiced concern over the location of Fenaka Corporation’s office in the middle of a residential area, citing space constraints and the necessity of constructing a new office building. In addition, they stressed the importance of upgrading the island’s electricity grid.
The council further highlighted the urgency of providing electricity to the island’s tourism zone, while also creating opportunities for eco-tourism. They raised issues regarding the lack of space at Goidhoo School, the stalled construction of the staff room, and defects in the school’s electrical system. Additionally, the Council also sought updates on the status of the multipurpose hall and sports arena projects.
President Dr Muizzu, in turn, assured the council that the Government would carefully review their concerns and work towards practical solutions. He also provided updates on ongoing development projects, accompanied by Cabinet Ministers and senior officials from State-Owned Enterprises.
