Dr. Muhammad Samsudin, S.Ag., the Vice Secretary of Muhammadiyah Council for Higher Education, Research, and Development (CHERD) inaugurated Syafrial Anas, SE. MM. as the Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Muara Bungo (UMMUBA) for 2022-2026 in Amaris Hotel, Bungo regency, Jambi on Monday (01/08).

Syafrial Anas, S.E., M.M reappointed to lead UMMUBA that previously became the Chairman of STKIP Muhammadiyah Muara Bungo which transformed to be a university in 2022. In his remarks, Syafrial Anas mentioned that UMMUBA would synergize with the Bungo government to elevate the human resource quality. Without the high quality, it will affect good local development indicators in economics, socio-culture, and health. So we should believe that the key to the success and development of the nations is related to the human resource factor in graduates’ achievement.

It required determinations and agreements in producing talented graduates, but also multi-talented graduates. Producing multi-talented graduates needs persistent efforts. “In our structural organization, we have arranged divisions so our lecturers are qualified and improve soft skills,” he said.

Furthermore, he explained that they should collaborate to implement good programs and ideas. “It is possible that we have international students. In this term, we need support from the Bungo government and Jambi government,” he said.

Dr. Muhammad Samsudin, S.Ag., M.Pd inaugurated the UMMUBA Rector and congratulated him. He also mentioned the progressive Muhammadiyah and prompted UMMUBA civitas elevating qualities to be ready to develop as other Muhammadiyah Higher Education Institutions.
