He gave this assurance while addressing the residents of Mahibadhoo this evening, highlighting that the project is a major step towards transforming the island into a key urban centre within the network of developments across the Maldives.

The physical phase of the reclamation work commenced today, with the President reiterating that the project would advance at full speed and emphasising its importance in achieving sustainable development.
Addressing the community’s housing concerns, President Dr Muizzu announced that the construction of 150 housing units will be included in the forthcoming 2026 Budget, with work scheduled to begin early next year.

He also reaffirmed that infrastructural development in the education sector will continue at a rapid pace.
The President added that Mahibadhoo will benefit from key investments to strengthen its sports sector. He emphasised that these initiatives are not symbolic gestures but part of a sincere effort to translate the people’s aspirations into tangible progress.
