JAKARTA - The Indonesian Cement Association (ASI) said that the resignation of the Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (OIKN) Bambang Susantono would not interfere with the distribution of cement for development at IKN.

"It's not disturbed. I think that the IKN project, right, has been stipulated in the law. Whoever the leader is, keep going," said Lilik Unggul Raharjo when met after the agenda of the 2024 Asian International Cement Conference at the Shangri-La Hotel, Jakarta, Monday, June 3.

Lilik added that the need for cement for development at IKN reaches around 1 million tons per year.

"Pasokan satu juta ton per tahun (ke IKN). Ada (semen) campuran OPC dan campuran ramah lingkungan. (Pasokan) masih terus berjalan lancar, tidak ada masalah," tegasnya.

On the other hand, Lilik believes that the change of government in October will not interfere with the distribution of cement for IKN development.

"The existing leadership is still committed to green industry. Right, IKN is a green city. So, I believe that there will be many changes," he added.

For your information, the Head of the IKN Authority decided to resign from his position after serving for two years. The resignation letter has been received by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

"Mr. President (Jokowi) also received a letter of resignation letter from Mr. Bambang Susantono as Head of the IKN Authority. Today a Presidential Decree (Keppres) has been issued regarding the honorable dismissal of Mr. Bambang Susantono as Head of the IKN Authority and also Mr. Doni Rahayu as Deputy Head of the IKN Authority," said Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Pratikno as quoted from the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube, Monday, June 3.
