The Board of Directors of the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas Limited (NLNG) has appointed Mr. Tony Attah, as its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, replace Babs Omotowa, who had been in the organisation since December 2011.
This was disclosed by the General Manager, External Relations, Mr. Kudo Eresia-Eke, who stated that Omotowa will be returning to Shell International in the Hague, Netherlands.
