President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has met with the Thoddoo Island Council and Women's Development Committee (WDC), where councilors stated that they aim to bring further advancement and development to Thoddoo Island by making the best use of the authority and financial autonomy granted to councils under the amendments to the Decentralisation Act.
During the meeting, councilors shared the most pertinent needs from their residents with the President, including road development, upgrading healthcare facilities, proposed ideas on harbor extension projects, development needed for the local school, and other ventures, including tourism and agricultural development. The WDC mentioned difficulties faced due to the lack of office space to conduct their activities.
Speaking at the meeting, the President shared the latest updates on various developmental projects on the island. He mentioned that the road development project would begin after the completion of the water and sewerage project. He also said that the Government intends to facilitate specialist services to improve the Island's health sector with the help of the Indira Gandhi Memorial Hospital (IGMH) outreach program.
While highlighting the completion of the school's multi-purpose hall and 12 new classrooms project, the President noted the Government would look for possibilities to address the lack of office space. He further affirmed that the government would also consider the ideas and suggestions proposed by the council for the harbor expansion project.
Following the meeting, the President toured the Thoddoo Health Centre and met with the staff members, and also visited some farming plots in Thoddoo Island.
