David Robinson has resigned as a director of majority state-owned National Enterprises Ltd (NEL).
According to notice posted to the Trinidad and Tobago Stock Exchange, Robinson’s resignation took effect on January 7, 2026.
Just last week, NEL said Robinson was authorised by the board of the company to sign the financial report for the year ended September 30, 2025 on its behalf in the absence of a substantive chairman.
National Enterprises Ltd (NEL) had reported a profit after tax of $15.3 million for that period.
Robinson is the fourth NEL director to leave its board since September.
At the company’s last annual meeting former chair Ingrid Lashley, Ross Alexander and Nicole De Freitas officially retired at the end of the AGM at the Radisson Hotel. No new directors were nominated or elected to replace them, leading shareholders to question the stability and transparency of the company’s governance structure.
Checks on the NEL website last night indicated that the following were directors of the company: Heather Tardieu, Nigel Ramsahai, Rhetia Rodriguez-Santana, Stephen Marcelle and Shereece Smith.
NEL’s assets include the following:
* 51 per cent of Tringen (Trinidad Nitrogen Company);
* 51 per cent of TSTT (Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago);
* 51 per cent of National Flour Mills;
* 10 per cent of PowerGen, through the ownership of 100 per cent of NEL Power Holdings Ltd;

* 33.3 per cent of Pan West Engineers and Consructors, which owns 10 per cent of Phoenix Park Gas Processors
