With late Sheikh Khalifa’s guidance and leadership, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure focused on balanced nationwide development by implementing major projects worth over $10.89 billion (AED40 billion) during his stay at office. 3000+ federal buildings, from educational and health facilities, government services buildings and mosques form part of federal assets.

One of the major accomplishments of the Sheikh Khalifa era was the establishment, completion and upgrading of more than 230 public schools, and the development of a world-class system of hospitals and 32 federal government health facilities.

The late President of the UAE also supported fishermen by establishing more than 24 fishing ports.
