The Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) organized a socialization event titled “Integrity Zone Free from Corruption (ZI-WBK)” on Friday, August 1, 2025. The event took place in the Meeting Room, 2nd Floor, Main Building of the Faculty of Agriculture and featured keynote speaker Prof. Dr. Nurman Achmad, S.Sos., M.Soc.Sc., Chair of the USU Bureaucratic Reform Team and Vice Dean II of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences USU.

In his remarks, Ir. Revandy emphasized the importance of a shared commitment to fostering a culture of integrity in the workplace.

“Building an Integrity Zone is part of our commitment to creating a clean, accountable, and service-oriented government. A culture of integrity is built not only from regulations but from collective commitment and changes in work culture across all organizational levels,” he stated.

 

Meanwhile, Prof. Nurman explained that the Integrity Zone is a designation given to government agencies committed to realizing a Corruption-Free Area (WBK) and a Clean and Serving Bureaucratic Area (WBBM).

Prof. Nurman also stressed the importance of strict selection processes in determining work units eligible for Integrity Zone status, including self-assessments by the Internal Assessment Team. He concluded by emphasizing the importance of an excellent service culture.
