JAYAPURA - The concern of the Daily Executive of Papua Governor Muhammad Ridwan Rumasukun for zakat management in Papua was rewarded with an award from the central government.

Through the National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas), Governor Ridwan was named as one of several Regional Heads who won the title of the Main Support Governor of Zakat Management in Indonesia.

This achievement was given by the Baznas Republic of Indonesia to Governor Ridwan during the Baznas Award 2023 event at the Grand Sahid Hotel Jakarta, Monday (21/3/2023).

The certificate of appreciation for Governor Ridwan was received by the Head of the Papua Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) Setyo Wahyudi, which was then forwarded to Acting Governor Ridwan today (Friday, ed).

"This award is given to the Governor because he is considered successful in managing zakat for the benefit of the people, of course, from Papua," explained the Head of the Papua Communication and Informatics Department, in Jayapura, Friday (31/3/2023).

According to Jery, Acting Governor Ridwan is a leader who is very concerned about humanitarian issues. For some cases of humanitarian problems and even natural disasters, continued Jeri, Governor Ridwan quickly responded to give instructions to assist.

"So of course this is also a motivation for all parties in Papua, so they can also support the management of zakat which of course aims at humanity and other related matters," he said. ***
