Utak-atik Region Penajam Regency After Will Present IKN Nusantara

North Penajam Paser Regency, East Kalimantan, will divide the area because some of the areas, namely Sepaku District, are in the autonomous area of the State Capital or IKN Nusantara led by the Head of the Authority Agency.

"District expansion is a priority and accelerated because there are some areas that enter the IKN Nusantara area," explained the Head of the North Penajam Paser Regency Village Community Empowerment Service (DPMD), Saidin in Penajam, Monday, December 19. A number of villages and sub-districts will also be shocked by the existence of a sub-district expansion in the area nicknamed Benuo Taka. The village and sub-district expansion that will be carried out, according to him, a number of villages and sub-districts located in the Penajam and Babulu sub-districts. The North Penajam Paser Regency Government also expands the area as an institutional arrangement at the lower level of the local district government. With regional expansion, it is hoped that services to the community can run more optimally. Regional expansions in North Penajam Paser Regency have entered the mapping stage, but are still waiting for the results of studies and coordination with the Ministry of Home Affairs (Kemendagri).

It is projected that the process of expanding the North Penajam Paser Regency area will be completed in 2023. Currently, Saidin said, we are still waiting for the results of a regional study that will allow it to be developed in conjunction with coordinating with the Ministry of Home Affairs.
