Infrastructure Minister Abdulla Muththalib has stated that construction work on five airports will be completed within the budgets already approved.
The minister made the remarks while addressing concerns that some projects might require additional funding. He indicated that careful management of the existing allocations should allow the works to finish without extra expenditure.
The specific airports were not named in the available reports. Airport development has been a recurring government priority, with several regional projects currently under way or planned.
The statement comes at a time when the government is under pressure to demonstrate progress on infrastructure pledges while controlling public spending.
