OIKN Chief Urges Civil Servants to Embrace Nusantara Move

Emphasis on Future Generations

The head of Nusantara Capital City Authority (OIKN), Basuki Hadimuljono, has publicly encouraged civil servants who are hesitant about relocating to the new capital city. During the dissemination event for the 2025 Nusantara Population Data Collection at the BPS office, Basuki emphasized that Nusantara is being developed specifically for future generations rather than current leaders or officials.

Development Rationale

The new capital city represents one of Indonesia's most ambitious development projects, aimed at regional economic redistribution and showcasing modern urban planning. Basuki stressed that the project's long-term vision should motivate civil servants to participate in this national endeavor. The initiative is part of a broader strategy to decentralize economic activity from Jakarta and promote more balanced national development.

Implementation Challenges

While specific details about the relocation timeline and infrastructure readiness were not discussed in the event, Basuki's comments highlight the ongoing efforts to address the cultural and bureaucratic challenges associated with the capital relocation project. The success of this initiative will depend on effective coordination between various government agencies and the willingness of civil servants to adapt to the new environment.
