The Siak Regency Government is currently also preparing KITB (Tanjung Buton Industrial Area) this area is widely eyed by outside investors, many investors plan to come and see KITB but due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, their planned visit has been delayed.
“This area is a new job opportunity, and brothers and sisters as sons of Siak Regency, have fighters working there,” he asked.
He asked that students must play an active role in advancing the region, both in the masses in lectures until after college by opening a business or working in a company according to the disciplines that they get in college.
