Save fuel, the Regent of Ipuk invites ASN Banyuwangi to the Naik Ojol Office

BANYUWANGI - The Banyuwangi Regency Government (Pemkab), East Java, also appealed to the local Civil Service Apparatus (ASN) to use pedal bicycles or public transportation (online/ojol) for fuel savings due to the uncertainty of fossil energy due to conflicts in the Middle East.

Banyuwangi Regent Ipuk Fiestiandani admitted that he also issued a policy for fuel savings for local ASN, in addition to implementing one day of Work From Home (WFH) according to central government policy.

"Energy efficiency is a mitigation that must be carried out together in the face of uncertainty in the volatile geopolitical situation in the Middle East. As part of the local government, I invite all ASN to set an example in this energy saving movement," he said.

Ipuk conveyed several policies, including starting from the efficiency of the use of official vehicles, ASN was also urged to use public transportation or ojol.

In fact, he also encouraged ASN whose house is close to their workplace to start switching to using a bicycle to get to their respective workplaces. ASN can also use public transportation and ojol to get to work, as has been implemented by the Banyuwangi Regency Government every Friday.

This appeal, continued Ipuk, is also in line with President Prabowo Subianto's instructions to all regions to prepare for the worst possible scenario due to the dynamics in the Middle East.

"We are discussing this policy in detail to be implemented immediately together, in addition to saving energy, gowes is also healthier for ASN," said Ipuk.

In addition, Ipuk also asked all ASN to optimize digital-based activities to reduce mobility.

"In addition to being more effective with digital services, this step also helps save fuel consumption for official vehicles," he said.

Ipuk added that this appeal was not to create concern among the public, but as a form of vigilance in the face of global dynamics that have the potential to affect the stability of energy supply, including fuel.

"Of course we hope that the conflict in the Middle East will soon subside, so that it does not have an impact on the world's energy supply," said Ipuk.
