President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu met with representatives from HA. Uligamu Island Council, the Women’s Development Committee (WDC), and heads of local institutions to discuss the island’s most pressing developmental needs. The meeting, held as part of his tour of Haa Alifu Atoll, focused on improving infrastructure and essential services to enhance the quality of life for residents.
During the discussions, council members and institutional heads outlined key challenges faced by the island, including housing, economic opportunities, and access to healthcare and utilities. The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to addressing these concerns and pledged that the government would prioritize sustainable development projects tailored to the needs of Uligamu’s community.
Women’s empowerment and community participation were also central to the discussions. The WDC highlighted the necessity of greater support for women-led initiatives and improved access to social services. The President acknowledged these concerns and emphasized the government’s focus on inclusive development that benefits all citizens.
Uligamu, a strategically located northern island, has significant potential for economic growth, particularly in tourism and maritime industries. Recognizing this, the President and his delegation explored opportunities to enhance local livelihoods through targeted investments and infrastructure improvements.
The visit to Uligamu is part of the President’s broader efforts to engage directly with island communities and ensure that development initiatives align with their most urgent needs. His administration continues to emphasize regional development as a cornerstone of national progress, with a particular focus on decentralization and equitable resource distribution.
