The Rector of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP, who is also the Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the 49th Muhammadiyah Congress in 2027, presented the progress of the preparations for this grand event at the Ramadhan Study 1446 H event at Universitas Muhammadiyah Lamongan.
The Ramadan Study by the East Java Regional Leadership of Muhammadiyah (PWM) took place at the Muhammadiyah University of Lamongan (Umla) on Saturday (8/3). The Rector of UMSU was present along with the Chairman of PWM North Sumatra, Prof. Hasyimsyah Nasution, MA, the Secretary of PWM North Sumatra, Irwansyah, MA, the Deputy Rector II of UMSU, Prof. Dr. Akrim, MPd, the Deputy Chairman of PWM North Sumatra, Dr. Sulidar, MA, and the Deputy Secretary of PWM North Sumatra, Drs. Mutholib, MM.
In an event attended by thousands of Muhammadiyah members from East Java, Prof. Agussani began his presentation by giving a brief profile of North Sumatra. A province with diverse ethnicities and religions that boasts cultural richness, natural beauty, and unique cuisine.
“I need to introduce North Sumatra so that the Muhammadiyah members who come can get an idea of the region that will host the 2027 congress,” he said.
Next, UMSU, designated as the location for the congress, has begun constructing an auditorium building with a capacity of 7,000 visitors. Next, a sports hall with a capacity of 3,000 people will be built as the venue for the Aisyiah Congress.
“God willing, the locations of the Muhammadiyah and Aisyiah Congresses in North Sumatra in 2027 will be adjacent,” said Prof. Agussani, who was met with applause.
On that occasion, as the Chairman of the Muktamar Organizing Committee, Prof. Agussani presented the video “Sumut Goes to Muktamar 2027,” which also received a warm welcome from thousands of Muhammadiyah members who attended the Ramadan study. Especially when it was mentioned that in the Muktamar arena there is also a fruit orchard where durian trees have already begun to be planted.
Previously, the Rector of UMSU, along with PWM Sumut, socialized the progress of the construction of the Muktamar building at PWM Jatim. This visit serves as a socialization of the preparations for the congress as well as a comparative study to the region that was previously entrusted with organizing the congress.
The plan is for the UMSU Rector and Sumut leadership to conduct a roadshow to several regions in Java Island while also socializing the preparations for hosting the 2027 Mukatamar.
