The IBGE turns 90 on May 29th and has already started a series of celebrations across the country. In Sergipe, the Legislative Assembly (Alese) will be the first in the Northeast to mark the date with a Special Session.
Authored by state representative Georgeo Passos (Republicanos), the ceremony will be held on Friday (22), at 9 am, in the plenary of Palácio Governador João Alves Filho, with the presence of the president of the IBGE, Marcio Pochmann, the superintendent of the IBGE in Sergipe, Fábio Alburquerque, and a tribute to officials with more than 40 years of experience at the Institute. The celebration is open to society and will be broadcast by Digital IBGE.
The president of the IBGE, Marcio Pochmann, said: “The tribute from the Legislative Assembly of Sergipe to the 90th anniversary of the IBGE celebrates much more than an institution: it recognizes the public intelligence that revealed the depths of Brazil, challenged social invisibility and transformed statistics, geography and planning into instruments of national sovereignty.”
The session is part of a series of commemorative events across Brazil, which will take place over the coming months. The complete program for the IBGE's 90th anniversary can be seen on the commemorative portal: IBGE 90 years
The superintendent of the IBGE in Sergipe, Fábio Alburquerque, highlights: “Celebrating 90 years of the IBGE is very special and rewarding for all of us Ibgeans. This Institution, of which we are so proud to be part, is essential for the knowledge and planning of Brazil. The recognition of this historical importance in the Legislative Assembly is important to reaffirm the leading role we have as Brazil's official statistical office.”
Founded in 1936, the IBGE has established itself as the main Brazilian institution in the production of statistical, geographic, cartographic, geodetic and environmental information, fundamental for understanding the national reality and planning public policies.
