Sidoarjo, East Java — The Deputy Regent of Sidoarjo, Mimik Idayana, has ensured that the implementation of the Free Nutritious Meal (MBG) programme in the region continues to proceed safely and smoothly, remaining a government priority in accordance with the directives of President Prabowo Subianto.
During the occasion, Mimik met with thousands of participants from the Sidoarjo United Free Nutritious Meal Communication Forum, who expressed their support for the programme’s safe and smooth execution.
“All aspirations presented will be received and immediately reported to the central government,” Mimik stated in Sidoarjo, East Java, on Monday.
According to her, all feedback received from the community will serve as consideration for refining the programme’s implementation to ensure its benefits are increasingly felt by the public.
She explained that evaluations of the MBG implementation will be conducted continuously to ensure that any emerging obstacles can be promptly addressed by the government.
This evaluation process also aims to increase the programme’s effectiveness, ensuring better execution and the ability to meet the objectives set by the central government.
Mimik also emphasised that, to date, there have been no incidents resulting in casualties during the implementation of the MBG programme in Sidoarjo Regency, indicating that the programme is proceeding well.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Sidoarjo United MBG Communication Forum, Ubaidillah Nurdin, stated that the people taking to the streets in this action represent various sectors, including farmers, fishermen, volunteers, suppliers, market traders, and managers of the Nutritional Fulfilment Service Units (SPPG) involved in the programme’s delivery.
He noted that the various challenges arising during the programme’s implementation are matters that need to be rectified through evaluation, without halting the ongoing MBG programme, so that its benefits can still be enjoyed by the community.
“We support the continued implementation of the national MBG programme and support the leadership of President Prabowo Subianto,” he said.
