Labour Leader Said Iqbal Officially Appointed as Special Advisor to President Prabowo

President Prabowo Subianto has inaugurated the President of the Indonesian Confederation of Trade Unions as the Special Advisor to the President for Labour and Worker Welfare. The inauguration ceremony took place at the State Palace, Jakarta, on Monday (8/6/2026).

The legal basis for the appointment is Presidential Decree Number 58/P of 2026 concerning the Appointment of the Special Advisor to the President for Labour and Worker Welfare. During the ceremony, Said took his oath of office, led by President Prabowo, followed by the signing of the inauguration minutes.

On the same occasion, Prabowo also inaugurated Nanik Sudaryati Deyang as the Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). Additionally, he appointed Agustina Arumsari and Trenggono as Deputy Heads of the BGN. The legal basis for these appointments is Presidential Decree Number 18/M of 2026 regarding the dismissal and appointment of the Head and Deputy Heads of the BGN, as well as the dismissal of the Deputy Head of the BPKP.

It is noted that Prabowo dismissed three previous BGN officials—Dadan Hindayana, Lodewyk Pusung, and Sony Sonjaya—due to their involvement in corruption cases. This announcement was read by the Minister of State Secretary, Prasetyo Hadi, at the Presidential Office, Jakarta, on Tuesday (2/6/2026) evening.

During the same announcement, Prasetyo confirmed Nanik S. Deyang as the Head of the BGN, alongside Agustina Arumsari and Major General (Rtd) Trenggono as Deputy Heads of the BGN. Trenggono has since taken early retirement from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI).
