Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Law and Human Rights has made universities in Indonesia as strategic partners to produce quality human resources, Minister of Law and Human Rights Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly stated.

"These human resources are expected to be able to cooperate in the planning, development, guidance, and enforcement of law," he noted while delivering his speech to the graduates of Krisnadwipayana University here on Thursday.

In his speech, he reminded graduates to not be selfish and arrogant. This is because college is not just about the pursuit of academic scores but also dedication that must be maintained and developed.

Graduates need one special competency to be able to participate in the nation's development. Amid stringent and dynamic competition, a person must have a comparative advantage, he stressed.

"Change your mindset from being job seekers to become job creators," he stated.
