Upon arrival at Baa Atoll, President Muizzu met with members of B. Kamadhoo Island Council, the Women’s Development Committee (WDC), and heads of local institutions today, to discuss the island’s key development priorities. The meeting was held at Kamadhoo Preschool.
During the discussions, Council members highlighted several pressing issues, including the need to address coastal erosion, construct a new school to ease space constraints at Kamadhoo School, and develop a football field for the island’s youth. They also requested a solution to the limited space at the council office, upgrades to the island’s health centre, and the modernisation of roads while preserving the island’s natural environment. Additionally, the Council called for the construction of a mosque and urged the expedited completion of the harbour project.
Following the meeting, during a ceremony hosted to speak to the residents of Kamadhoo, the President noted that the island had previously been somewhat neglected and stressed his determination to change that.
Highlighting Kamadhoo’s strong local tourism sector, the President expressed full support for incorporating residents’ feedback into the island’s road construction plans. He also pledged to find a sustainable solution to land erosion and confirmed plans for the construction of the island’s harbour.
During the ceremony, two significant agreements were signed to advance the island’s development. The first, for the construction of a new school facility, was signed by Minister of Education Dr Ismail Shafeeu and Managing Director of Fahi Dhiriulhun Corporation Hamdhan Shakeel. The second, introducing seaplane services to the island, was signed by Managing Director of Island Aviation Services Limited Ibrahim Iyas and Director of Hawks Hotel Hussain Aman.
Commenting on the agreements, the President said the new school building would meet the island’s educational resource and space needs, while the seaplane operations would help boost the local economy.
