AYAPURA: Jayapura Mayor Benhur Tommy Mano said on Friday that he would adopt a number of Surabaya's programs to improve the city.
Surabaya Mayor Tri Rismaharini visited Jayapura to celebrate its 106th anniversary, and to share her experience in leading East Java's capital city. 'We learned from Surabaya how to make a modern and beautiful city. In addition, we will also adopt Surabaya's strategy in implementing IT-based services,' he said. However, there are many challenges that should be tackled before implementing the programs, he said.
'For example, if we want to have IT-based services, we need to improve the city's internet bandwidth,' he said.
During her visit, Risma, recipient of the prestigious Bung Hatta anticorruption award, also called for residents to work together to maintain the city's cleanliness. 'It's not just the governor's responsibility, it's also the people's job to keep the city clean,'she said.
