Abu Dhabi: Being a charismatic and progressive leader, late Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan have led the UAE towards the accomplishment of countless achievements during his reign.

During his rule, the UAE was ranked among the top 10 globally in 20 key indicators of global competitiveness related to the energy and infrastructure sector for the year 2021, according to reports issued by a number of major international institutions concerned with global competitiveness.

The support and vision of Sheikh Khalifa enabled the country to rapidly achieve progress and occupy a prominent stature in the areas of infrastructure and housing.

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.

More than 900 kilometers of federal roads were constructed by the Ministry as part of 140+ projects, marking substantial growth for the sector. The total length of traffic lanes on federal roads reached 4,300 kilometers over the past 18 years, linking the country’s regions and cities in a smooth and flexible manner.

Ports in the UAE rank among the top 10 internationally in the volume of container handling. There are over 27,000 maritime companies in the UAE and the country’s ports rank among the top worldwide.
