President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has announced a mega project to establish buildings to house the Island Council Secretariats on fifty islands within the year. The announcement was made during his meeting with the residents of Makunudhoo, Haa Dhaalu Atoll.
The President detailed that the buildings for the Island Council Secretariats on fifty islands would be built under the Investor Finance Model. The selection of the fifty islands for the project would be based on the severity of the deterioration of the existing facilities that house the councils.
President Dr. Muizzu reiterated his commitment to fully realizing the autonomous functioning of the decentralised administration of the Administrative Divisions. Additionally, he expressed his intention to collaborate closely with the public.
The President further announced plans to extend Makunudhoo Airport’s runway to 1800 meters. He emphasized that the land reclamation project for the island would be strategically designed to foster development across the island. Furthermore, he added that the road construction project will be executed per his commitment.
