The newly elected President, Prabowo Subianto, called his ministerial candidates to his residence, Jalan Kertanegara IV, Jakarta, today. Besides ministerial candidates, the invitation also included the deputy ministerial candidates and agency leaders. Among them was Fauzan, the former rector of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM).

A few days earlier, Prabowo had called 49 ministerial candidates who were expected to help him govern Indonesia. There are a number of names such as Erick Thohir, Sri Mulyani, Yusril Ihza Mahendra, Bahlil Lahadalia, and others who also enliven the ministerial candidate exchanges.

Regarding the invitation of the former UMM rector, UMM Public Relations Director, Dr. M. Isnaini, explained that Prof. Fauzan is UMM's Professor of Education. The invitation seems inseparable from his long record of contribution in education during his two periods as the chancellor of the White Campus. Some of his programs include the Center of Excellence (CoE) and the Center for Future Work (CFW), which connect students and industry. Generating superior human resources that suit the needs of society.

"Prof. Fauzan has also successfully run the Professor Penggerak Pembangunan Masyarakat (P3M) program, which runs in various regions. The program empowers experts from UMM to provide mentorship in direct contributions to the community. Especially in the food industry, which is in accordance with Mr. Prabowo's plans to maintain food security. I think the program that Prof. Fauzan has run during his time as chancellor is very compatible with the program promoted by Prabowo,” said Krisna, his nickname.

According to Prabowo, this selection process has been conducted for a long time. He had studied the names that would join his cabinet long before they were invited to Kertanegara. He has conducted monitoring, discussion, and selection in order to determine the best candidate. “They have also expressed their willingness to help me,” said Prabowo to the media.

Prabowo explained that the names were called today to make sure they were willing to help him. “Today is just to confirm. I convinced them whether they are willing to help me in those sectors that I have offered,” he added.

The presence of Prof. Fauzan's name at Prabowo's residence adds to the long list of important figures who could potentially be included in the new cabinet structure. The ministerial or deputy ministerial position that Prof. Fauzan is expected to fill is a strategic position that will play an important role in higher education, research, and technology. This position is expected to help produce superior human resources. (wil/put)
