"The construction of dormitory flats for students at universities is an effort by the government to train students to get used to living in vertical housing. In addition, we also want universities in the regions to improve the quality of their education," said Director General of Housing of the Ministry of PUPR Iwan Suprijanto in his official statement in Jakarta, on Friday, January 20.

In addition, Iwan also hopes that with the presence of the Flats, they will be able to produce intelligent students from their academic and spiritual perspectives, so that they can contribute to Baubau City specifically.

"In addition, it also contributes to the nation, state and works internationally," he said.

Head of the Sulawesi Housing Provision Center III Iskandar Ismail said the construction of the Muhammadiyah Buton University Student Flat was marked by the laying of the first stone or groundbreaking.
