Nanik Deyang Apologises to Prabowo After Resigning as National Nutrition Agency Head

Nanik S Deyang has apologised to President Prabowo Subianto after resigning as head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN). She stated that she has been asked to become the chair of the BGN’s supervisory board. “With a heavy heart, I bid farewell to the President to seek medical treatment for my heart overseas. I plan to depart today, Wednesday (22/7),” Nanik said on her Facebook page on Wednesday (22/7/2026). “This is not because I do not trust the excellent doctors in Indonesia, but to seek a second opinion, and a friend happened to recommend the place I am going to,” she continued. Nanik apologised to Prabowo for resigning as BGN head due to health reasons. She revealed that Prabowo will form a BGN supervisory board, and she was asked to chair it. “I also told the President, with a thousand apologies, that I felt I had to resign as BGN head for the sake of my health. Because the President was concerned and felt sorry for me, he agreed, but asked me to continue overseeing BGN. It is likely the President will form a supervisory board where I am asked to serve as chair,” she said. Despite leaving BGN, Nanik affirmed her continued support for all of Prabowo’s government programmes. “I will keep fighting and supporting the President, who is currently working very hard to improve the lives of the Indonesian people,” she added.
