He earned a master's degree in Constitutional Law at the Brazilian Institute of Public Law (IDP) in 2009, and specialized in labor law at the Community Foundation of Higher Education of Itabira (Funcesi).
Administrative career
[edit]Higino served as Internal Affairs Offices of Belém and Fortaleza for the Secretaria da Receita Federal do Brasil of the Ministry of Finance. He then served as an advisor at the now-defunct Comptroller General of Brazil (CGU). Higino, an opponent of nepotism in Brazil, was noted for the simultaneous appointment of his wife, Manuela Sabóia Moura de Alencar, as Chief of the Medical Department of the CGU. Higino and Sabóia maintained a professional distance but started their tenures at the CGU on the same day.[2][3]
Higino later served as Secretary of State for Transparency and Control of the Federal District of Brazil. He was the second Vice President of the National Council of Internal Control (CONACI).
