President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono is scheduled to dedicate Politeknik Aceh on Monday (28 July). Located in Pango Raya, Ulee Kareng subdistrict, Banda Aceh, The building is 98% completed as of yesterday and is currently in the finishing phase.
The mayor of Banda Aceh –Mawardy Nurdin-- confirmed this to Serambi yesterday. He stated that the municipality has had a meeting with Coordinating Minister of politics, law and human rights; Minister of Public Works; and Minister of Internal Affairs on Thursday (17 July).
Mawardy added,” The ministers informed me that the President agreed to dedicate Politeknik Aceh along with some other facilities donated by BRR in Aceh. However, we’re still waiting to receive one formal letter to confirm this. We will have it possibly by Thursday”.
The President’s visit to Aceh is to coincide with the opening of the 22nd [annual?] conference of the Indonesian Journalists Association (PWI) here in Banda Aceh. Head of PWI Aceh office, Dahlan TH, has arranged for the president’s appointments in Banda Aceh. Dedication of some other donated facilities will probably be centered at Politeknik Aceh.
