Andi Oddang Makka (18 July 1925 – 10 February 2015) was an Indonesian military officer and politician who became the governor of South Sulawesi from 1978 to 1983.
[4] Several years later, on 1 January 1947, the Dutch occupied Sidoarjo, a city near Surabaya, despite the fierce resistance delivered by Oddang's unit.
Oddang and his friends departed to Yogyakarta, the main base of the Indonesian Army, and underwent military training for three months.
Oddang finally reached Suppa, a small village in the Pinrang Regency, where he and his crewmates unloaded a 30 kilogram communication device.
Oddang ended his tenure in the military region in 1968 and was instructed to attend the Indonesian Army Command and General Staff College.
[8] As the second term of Governor Achmad Lamo grew closer to an end, the Corhas (Corps Hasanuddin) organization, an organization filled with retired Hasanuddin Military Regional Command officers and Golkar, the ruling party, wanted him to be succeeded by Abdul Azis Bustam and Chaeruddin Tasning.
Bustam and Tasning was made as ambassador, and a sham election was held to legitimize Oddang's ascension into the governor's seat.
[14] Through the project, Oddang aimed at a 11% increase of paddy field output to 3.5 million tonnes of milled dry rice in 1982.
[22] Oddang handled the shortage by instructing the trade bureau of the province to secure 25,000 cement sacks for members of the Indonesian Contractors Association that were working on state and provincial projects in the region.
[23] At the end of his term, Oddang declared that the gross domestic product per capita of South Sulawesi had grown by 6.11 percent every year during his tenure.
[25] Oddang had been active in army and veteran organizations since before his retirement from the armed forces, with him holding the chairman of the 45' Generation in West Kalimantan from 1960 until 1963.
[27] A total of four bus were prepared for funeral attendees[28] and several roads that passed by Oddang's casket hearse were temporarily closed.
