Notably, he has received national recognition for his contributions to the field of journalism. During President Abdulla Yameen’s administration, Shaheeb served as the Chairman of the Broadcasting Commission. 

In that capacity, he took decisive actions against several TV stations and imposed substantial fines. 

However, he resigned from the post after the Independent Institutions Committee of the Parliament determined his removal as Chairman.
