President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has returned to Malé after completing an extensive tour of inhabited islands across four atolls, during which he pledged new investments in housing, healthcare, education, and transport.
The President visited every inhabited island in Felidheatholhu, Mulakatholhu, North Nilandheatholhu, and Kolhumadulu, holding meetings with Island Councils, Women’s Development Committees (WDCs), institutional heads, and residents. The consultations, he said, were aimed at ensuring community concerns directly shape national development policy.
Dr Muizzu was joined by Cabinet Ministers and senior officials from government institutions, who provided updates on ongoing initiatives. Several new projects were also inaugurated and agreements signed during the trip, including the launch of ferry services, airport development programmes to strengthen connectivity, and the expansion of Bank of Maldives ATM services to every inhabited island in the four atolls.
Highlighting the government’s population consolidation policy, the President announced a series of housing schemes, alongside new investments in schools, health centres, and sports facilities. He also outlined measures to support fisheries and agriculture, sectors he described as vital for sustainable economic growth.
One of the key pledges made during the trip was to strengthen the Maldives’ healthcare infrastructure within the next six months. The President further revealed upcoming reforms in the banking sector designed to improve financial access for citizens and stimulate broader economic activity.
Speaking with islanders throughout the tour, Dr Muizzu reiterated that direct engagement with local communities remains central to his administration’s approach, ensuring that development decisions reflect the priorities of the people.
