The management of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Wednesday announced the appointment of Olufemi Oladapo Soneye as the new spokesperson.
His appointment followed the exit of Garba Deen Muhammad who was relieved of his appointment last month due to a policy change which affected management staff with less than 15 month to retirement.
