He stated that the common thread for problems that occur in BUMN and SKK Migas, especially in governance problems, namely governance structure, governance processes, and governance outcome, so that it can become lessons learned from each other for future performance improvements.

SOEs and SKK Migas are said to have very important duties and roles in realizing state goals and national development goals as mandated in articles 33 paragraph (2), (3) and (4) of the 1945 Constitution. The two institutions are the driving force and actors of economic activities that play an important role in organizing the national economy in order to provide the maximum benefits of state revenue for the welfare and prosperity of the people, as well as national development.
