The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) on Saturday paid tribute to Ministry of Finance analyst and former GFF Audit and Compliance Committee member Pretipaul Jaigobin, who died in a road accident near Mabaruma this week.
According to a release from the federation, “A highly-respected economics and financial policy expert, Jaigobin joined the GFF’s Audit and Compliance Committee in 2016. The committee plays a vital role in monitoring the responsible management of GFF finances and ensuring strict compliance with FIFA’s rules and regulations.”
“We are deeply saddened by the sudden loss of such an upstanding and well-regarded member of the community,” GFF President Wayne Forde said.
“On behalf of the Guyana Football Federation and the entire football community, I would like to send my thoughts, prayers and condolences to Jai’s family at this tragic time.” “Jai had been a valued member of one of the GFF’s most important oversight bodies. He will be greatly missed by us all,” Forde said.
