Trust Fund for Excellence in Sports: Immediate Dismissal of Nagaissen Valaydum

On Thursday, April 16, the Ministry of Youth and Sports announced the immediate dismissal of Nagaissen Valaydum from his position as Chairperson of the Trust Fund for Excellence in Sports (TFES). This decision was formalized in a letter signed by D. Ramdharee, the Acting Permanent Secretary of the ministry, notifying Valaydum of the termination of his mandate without delay.

The letter did not specify any official reasons for this dismissal. It is worth noting that Nagaissen Valaydum was initially appointed by the ministry in February 2025 and officially took office in April of the same year, following a restructuring of the board of directors.
