LAMPUNG - President Joko Widodo during his visit to Lampung Province reminded the beneficiary community to use the assistance provided by the government wisely. "Today there is assistance with a value of Rp. 1.2 million, then there is a BLT BBM containing Rp. 300,000 and basic food assistance to distribute," said Jokowi during a dialogue with residents of beneficiaries in Bandarlampung, Saturday, September 3. He said the assistance provided by the government was not used to meet needs such as buying cellular phones or new clothes. "So how much is there, this should not be used to buy cellular phones or new clothes. But for business capital, paying for schools may also be used properly," Jokowi said as quoted by Antara.

According to him, the assistance is expected to ease the burden on the community a little.

The response to the assistance was said by one of the beneficiaries in Bandarlampung City, Susilowati. "He received the assistance directly at the Post Office, thank you very much for providing this," said Susilowati. He explained that the assistance would later be used to increase the capital to buy necessities at his shop. "Earlier, I received a message from the President that it should be used properly, so this is the plan for the shop's capital so that more goods are added in the shop," he said.
