MEDAN - North Sumatra Governor Edy Rahmayadi confided when he received his guest from the Association of Indonesian Private Universities (APTISI). He complained about the difficulty of developing North Sumatra and said whether to import leaders from Europe first or Anies Baswedan from Jakarta to move the wheels of development in his area.

"Cook I have to say 'hopefully God helps us'. God continues to make excuses, everything has been given by God, there are seas, there are mountains, we just have to manage them," said Edy in front of the APTISI management, in the Tengku Rizal Nurdin Hall The Office of the Governor of North Sumatra, Monday 10 January.

He asked the members and management in the ranks of APTISI to contribute suggestions or solutions to the problems they are currently facing. The former Pangkostrad also invited all parties to provide suggestions on this matter and want to care about helping to build North Sumatra.

"I, if these gentlemen are difficult to talk to about building North Sumatra, who else can I talk to? Should we wait for people from Singapore, should we choose someone from Europe, or we borrow Anies Baswedan from Jakarta later when it's good, return it to us again, of course it's not like that," he explained as reported by Era.id.

Edy Rahmayadi explained, Indonesia will enter the demographic bonus, in which Indonesia's current birth rate is around 5 million per year. This figure is comparable to the population of Singapore.

As for North Sumatra, he continued, the number of young people aged 16-30 years was at 45 percent. "Imagine, sir, in 2045, our demographic bonus is not well educated, has no ability, no skills, it's not a demographic bonus, but a demographic destroyer," he said.

Gubsu Edy hopes that universities will become a place to prepare reliable young people who will lead in the future, so that President Joko Widodo's target is that Indonesia predicts that Indonesia will dominate the world.

"But if we don't educate and prepare well, can we rule the world. Don't just go to schools, what are you going to do? That's what's in school, what about those who don't go to school, it's even worse. I'm sorry sir, sorry again, please don't in my subpoena," concluded Edy Rahmayadi.
