Henry Neijhorst

Henry Roëll Neijhorst (also Neyhorst; born 7 January 1940)[1][2] is a Surinamese economist who served as Prime Minister of Suriname from 31 March to 9 December 1982.

In theory, the Policy Centre would provide a buffer between the National Military Council and the civilian Cabinet of Ministers.

[9] However, Neijhorst and the rest of the Cabinet chose to resign after the National Military Council unilaterally decided to eliminate opposition leaders.

[13] In honor of Humphrey Mijnals' eightieth birthday (2010), Neijhorst published a tribute brochure in cooperation with the Surinamese Football Association.

Neijhorst drew attention to Mijnals' pioneering records: one of the first foreign players in Brazilian football and the first nonwhite captain of USV Elinkwijk.
