Ahmed Numan has been appointed as Chairman of the board for the recently formed centralised utilities group, Fenaka Corporation Ltd.
The appointment of Numan by President Dr Mohamed Waheed Hassan follows the formation of Fenaka earlier this month by presidential decree.
Under its remit, the corporation was set up to take over from the seven utility corporations established during the administration of former President Mohamed Nasheed as part of its decentralisation policy.
“The key objective of this company would be to ensure sustainable primary services to the populace in the regions of the country other than Male’; supply of clean water, sewerage and electricity, and to establish an environment friendly waste management system,” read a President’s Office statement following the announcement.
