Former President Solih Urges Government to Accelerate Fisheries Projects

Former President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih has called on the current administration to expedite the completion of fisheries projects initiated during his tenure. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Solih emphasized the importance of swiftly completing these projects to bolster the Maldives’ fisheries sector. He highlighted that funding for these initiatives is already in place and their completion would address many challenges faced by the sector. Solih’s message coincided with National Fishermen’s Day, where he extended his greetings to fishermen, their families, and fisheries sector workers. Key projects from his administration include the introduction of boats through the state fisheries company MIFCO, improved facilities for fishermen to weigh their catches, and the development of new ice plants. Solih’s appeal underscores the significance of continuity in development projects for the sector’s growth.
