Feevah Island Council has extended its gratitude to President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih on behalf of the constituents for spearheading the most significant social and economic development the island had ever seen. The council made the remarks at a meeting held at the President’s Office focused on the developmental plans and pertinent needs of the island’s residents.
At the meeting, the council members told President Solih that he had been the only leader to have ever pledged to develop the island and stood steadfast in ensuring those pledges were delivered, adding several infrastructure projects initiated by the administration have so far been completed. The meeting was the first time the council had the opportunity to meet a sitting president to discuss the needs since the establishment of local councils under the Decentralisation Act.
Speaking at the meeting, President Solih extended his appreciation for the commitment and support of the council members toward the administration’s developmental agenda. Some of the topics the council members discussed with the president include the need for coastal protection and the development of a designated swimming area. The president assured the council members that the administration would seek ways to address their concerns.
