Syahrul Yasin Limpo is an Indonesian politician. He is currently the governor of South Sulawesi.
Limpo has been active during his governorship. In 2016, he was one among eight members of Golkar approved by the party cadre to campaign for the position of chairman, though he ultimately lost to current party leader Setya Novanto. After a 2017 meeting with Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University rector Sulaiman ibn Abdullah Abalkhail, Limpo helped facilitate the opening of a Saudi-funded university in the province.
In 2017, Limpo oversaw a controversial project in the province to create five artificial islands in order to increase public space at Makassar. Opposition came from environmental organizations which filed a lawsuit and local fishermen who attempted to physically block the construction, claiming that the project would deplete fish stocks.
