Con­rad Enill has re­signed as chair­man of the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny (NGC).

In an in­ter­nal memo sent to the board of di­rec­tors, pres­i­dents and gen­er­al man­agers on Mon­day, Enill con­firmed he will be step­ping down from June 30, 2022, to take up the po­si­tion of Trinidad and To­ba­go's High Com­mis­sion­er to Guyana.

Enill said,"Fur­ther to my ap­point­ment as High Com­mis­sion­er for the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go to the Co-op­er­a­tive Re­pub­lic of Guyana, with res­i­dence in George­town, with ac­cred­i­ta­tion to the Re­pub­lic of Suri­name and the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty, I have ad­vised the Min­is­ter of Fi­nance as Cor­po­ra­tion Sole and the Min­is­ter of En­er­gy and En­er­gy In­dus­tries of my res­ig­na­tion as Di­rec­tor and Chair­man of the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny and all its sub­sidiaries and af­fil­i­at­ed com­pa­nies with ef­fect from 30th June 2022."

In the no­tice, Enill heaped praise on the NGC staff who worked with him dur­ing his three-year tenure, which had been lit­tered with chal­lenges.

He said, "I be­lieve that at this time of ex­treme chal­lenges the lead­er­ship of this group must con­tin­ue to be fo­cused and avail­able to the men and women who do an ex­cel­lent job every day on be­half of our coun­try. I have every con­fi­dence that the group will con­tin­ue to ex­ceed ex­pec­ta­tions as it con­tin­ues in the ser­vice of the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go. I there­fore wish to place on record my thanks for the ex­tra­or­di­nary sup­port dur­ing my term of of­fice (Ju­ly 2019-June 2022) and wish the NGC Group con­tin­ued suc­cess."
