President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has stated that arrangements are being made to restart water and sewerage projects that have stalled on several islands.
He made the announcement while meeting with residents of ADh. Fenfushi during his ongoing tour of the inhabited islands of South Ariatholhu.
Referring to the halted water and sewerage project in Fenfushi, the President noted that many islands across the country face this issue. He explained that although these projects were contracted to a private company, work has not resumed despite continuous efforts by the relevant ministries of the current Administration. Consequently, the Government has decided to terminate the existing agreements and move forward with the projects through alternative means. He assured residents that a lasting solution would soon be implemented.
The President further stated that the stalled school construction project on the island would also be restarted and completed in time for the upcoming academic year.
During the meeting, agreements were signed for two key initiatives: the development of the Fenfushi boatyard and the construction of a mosque with the capacity for 300 people.
Additionally, during his visit, President Dr Muizzu attended the commencement of several new development projects, including the construction of a new Health Centre building, a Waste and Resource Management Centre, a new police post, a running track around the football field, and a volleyball court. The Bank of Maldives (BML) ATM service in Fenfushi was also officially launched today.
Highlighting these initiatives, the President announced that quay wall construction would also be undertaken, and that the mosque project would include a funeral house. He added that the Health Centre project would proceed with adjustments to its scope, ensuring the seamless transfer of services from the existing facility to the new building.
The President emphasised that all these projects have been initiated with priority and determination, reflecting the Government’s strong commitment to accelerating development and delivering tangible results for the people.
