President Dr Mohamed Muizzu’s ongoing tour of four atolls has centred on a series of development pledges, with particular focus on infrastructure, fisheries, education, healthcare, and coastal protection. The visits have provided local councils and communities the opportunity to outline their priorities, while the President has given assurances on accelerating key projects.
In F. Dharan’boodhoo, the administration pledged to complete ongoing projects while initiating new ones, including a health centre upgrade to extend service hours, a fitness and recreation centre, an outdoor volleyball court, and a football ground with a running track. Plans were also announced for a new police station and coastal erosion mitigation, with funds to be allocated in the 2026 budget.
At F. Magoodhoo, President Muizzu assured that the long-delayed airport will be completed within 12 months. He also confirmed construction of a multipurpose school hall and a health centre within the year, while harbour upgrades are scheduled for the 2026 budget. The President inaugurated a Bank of Maldives ATM and laid foundation stones for new facilities including the Island Council Secretariat, a Fitness and Recreation Centre, and a police post.
In Mulakatholhu Veyvah, commitments included harbour development in the 2026 budget, expansion of the health centre within this year, and resolving school space constraints by the beginning of the 2026 academic year.
Meanwhile, in M. Mulah, the President unveiled plans to revitalise the fisheries sector with a 30-tonne ice plant, cold storage, and a fuel skid project set for January. He also confirmed the island’s health centre would be upgraded to hospital status immediately, alongside 50 new housing units, accelerated harbour development, and coastal protection work. Road construction and a new Fitness and Recreation Centre are expected to be completed within four months, while a school expansion project is scheduled for completion before the next academic year.
Throughout the tour, the President has repeatedly highlighted his administration’s commitment to resuming stalled projects and securing budget allocations for upcoming developments. The visits underline a push towards strengthening local infrastructure, modernising the fisheries sector, and addressing long-standing community concerns in the atolls.
