Right after receiving the award from MInfra, Lago said: “I dedicate this award to our entire team and to everyone who makes Itaqui Port in São Luís a source of pride for our Maranhão and for Brazil. This is an important recognition of Governor FD’s vision for Itaqui Port, consistently positioning it as strategic for the region and thus encouraging a technical management model focused on results, which has become the hallmark of his administration.
