President Abdullah Yameen says that citizens have the power to move ahead with development and if given the chance, he will focus on reaching the pinnacle of development.
Speaking in Kudahuvadhoo island in Dhaal Atoll in the opening ceremony of the airport in the island, he said the power to push development agenda engineered by this administration rested with the public. As such, he said the citizens had a key role in determining if they will seek to push forward or hinder the development agenda.
He added that he had the same appeal to his rivals. Even if his rivals refuse to cooperate, President Yameen said he will ensure this administration will seek to fulfill their development agenda.
President Yameen reiterated his call that this administration was driven purely to bring in long term international investors. To facilitate this, he said this administration had created the required legal framework.
He further said it was his aim to increase employment opportunities for youth, thereby increasing the earnings per head. With the development of airport in the Atoll, President Yameen said the youth must give serious consideration to this.
He also focused on job creation. The President highlighted that including both private and public sector his administration had created 70,000 jobs.
He also marked that by the end of this administration, MVR 300 million will be spent on the atoll, including the current investment of MVR 280 million.
