"The object of all NU concentrations is pesantren community. I have gone around pesantren, NU communities throughout Indonesia and most of them expect NU to focus more on such fields as economy," Kang Said Said.
He further explained that NU would again pay its more attention to NU educational institutions in general and pesantren in particular.
All this, he said, was aimed at producing high quality individuals graduating from pesantren and giving them more easiness in meeting any emerging challenge.
