In his remarks, Governor Fakhiri congratulated all newly installed leaders of BAZNAS Papua Province. He expressed hope that the new leadership would carry out its mandate with full responsibility and integrity.
"On behalf of the Papua Provincial Government, I congratulate all newly installed leaders of BAZNAS Papua Province. May Almighty God always provide guidance, strength, and blessings in carrying out this mandate through professional, transparent, and accountable governance," the Governor said.
According to him, BAZNAS has a strategic role as a government partner in supporting poverty alleviation, economic empowerment of the Muslim community, and the improvement of public welfare.
"BAZNAS is not merely an institution that collects and distributes zakat, infaq, and sadaqah, but also a strategic partner of the government in realizing public welfare," he said.
Fakhiri emphasized that properly managed zakat funds can be an important instrument for supporting regional development, particularly in education, health, economic empowerment, and poverty alleviation.
"The potential of zakat in Papua remains very large and has not been fully optimized. Therefore, I hope BAZNAS Papua can become the frontline institution in professional and transparent zakat management that brings real impact to the community," he stressed.
He also invited all BAZNAS officials to strengthen synergy with regional governments, community organizations, the business sector, and all stakeholders to ensure that the benefits of zakat can be widely felt by the community.
Concluding his remarks, Governor Fakhiri called on all parties to make BAZNAS an institution that is increasingly trusted by the public.
"Let us make BAZNAS a great home for care and cooperation, so that the benefits of zakat can truly be felt by those in need and can support the realization of an advanced, prosperous, and just Papua," he said. ***
