President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has praised the AA. Ukulhas community for its industrious spirit, affirming that his Administration will continue to support the island in realising its full potential. The President made the remarks during his visit to Ukulhas as part of his tour of the atoll.
Addressing the community this evening at the Convention Centre, he highlighted several ongoing and upcoming development projects aligned with his presidential pledges for the island. The President revealed that these projects would be treated as high priority, closely monitored, and expedited.
He also acknowledged the importance of several key initiatives, including the development of a boat docking area, the extension of the island’s school building, and the construction of a sports complex, describing them as essential to Ukulhas’s continued growth.
Addressing what he described as the community’s most pressing concern, the President pledged to resolve housing challenges through the completion of land reclamation efforts. He noted that the Land Use Plan (LUP) had been approved, with 250 land plots earmarked for allocation. The Government, he added, would authorise the issuance of these plots to the island council within the coming week. President Dr Muizzu also announced that a project to construct 50 housing units would be contracted within the year.
The President also assured residents that efforts would be made to strengthen the health and infrastructure sectors, aligning with broader national development goals. Recognising Ukulhas’s reputation for local tourism, he advised all such islands to operate within the bounds of Islamic principles and the laws of the Maldives.
President Dr Muizzu was accompanied on the visit by Cabinet ministers and senior officials from State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs).
