This socialization was held with the theme “Public Information Disclosure Creates Quality Information Services” through a zoom meeting, (08/12/2021).

USU Secretary Prof. Dr.dr. Muhammad Fidel Ganis Siregar, M.Ked (OG), Sp.OG (K) said that the availability of information must be facilitated by appointed officials within USU so as to ensure the public to get the information needed quickly, transparently, accurately and accountably.

"With the existence of PPID, people who will submit requests for information are expected to be easier and less complicated because they are served through one door," said Prof. Fidel.

Prof. Fidel added that the provision of information and documentation was carried out by coordinating with all work units within USU as a source of information and documentation.

"In this case, the USU Public Relations, Protocol and Promotion Office acts as the manager of the USU PPID, which works under the instructions of the USU Secretary," he said.

According to him, well-organized information management will make it easier for PPID officials and officers to carry out all their duties.

"Guarantee the availability of information not only in the form of data that is managed regularly and efficiently, but also involves updating data in a disciplined manner so that all information provided remains up to date and supports the needs of the users of the information," said Prof. Fidel.
