Appointed Deputy Head of National Nutrition Agency, Trenggono Retires Early from TNI

Trenggono, newly appointed as the Deputy Head of the National Nutrition Agency (BGN), has announced his early retirement from the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). The former major general stated that his decision to leave the military was voluntary and initiated prior to his official appointment to the BGN.

“

So I retired early, at my own will.

During the inauguration ceremony for the BGN leadership in Jakarta on Monday, June 8, 2026, Trenggono confirmed his resignation. He clarified that he had already submitted his resignation from the TNI on June 2, 2026, the same day he was announced as the BGN's deputy head. He emphasized that this decision was his own initiative and not prompted by any directive from President Prabowo Subianto.

The TNI has officially confirmed Trenggono's early retirement. Major General Muhammad Nas, Head of the TNI Information Center, stated on Monday, June 8, 2026, that the resignation had been approved. This development follows President Prabowo's appointment of new leadership for the BGN.

“

Are you willing to take an oath according to your respective religions?

President Prabowo inaugurated three new leaders for the BGN: Nanik Sudaryati Deyang as head, and Trenggono and Agustina Arumsari as deputy heads. These appointments replace the previous BGN leadership, who were dismissed after being named suspects in a corruption case related to the agency's free nutritious meal program. The president also appointed Said Iqbal, President of the Confederation of Indonesian Trade Unions, as his Special Advisor for Labor Affairs and Welfare.

“

We are willing.
