Dia meyakini Gubernur Wahidin Halim akan mendukung pendirian PEPI Serpong berdampingan dengan Balai Besar Pengembangan Mekanisasi Pertanian (BB Mektan) yang kelak berdampak positif bagi Tangerang dan Banten mendukung pembangunan pertanian daerah.
Kabid Inneke K mengatakan pada dasarnya Kemenpan - RB mendukung percepatan pendirian PEPI oleh Kementan, namun menunggu surat rekomendasi Gubernur Banten sebagai syarat pendirian unit pelaksana teknis (UPT) pendidikan dari BPPSDMP Kementan.
