Nigeria Liquified Natural Gas (NLNG) has appointed Sofia Horsfall as its new general manager of external relations.

Horsfall replaces Andy Odeh who retires after 26 tears at the company.

Her appointment takes effect from November 1, 2024.

At a press conference on Tuesday in Lagos, Horsfall described the new responsibility as a time for introspection to ensure that the relationship, which has been developed with stakeholders over the years, is sustainably maintained.

She thanked Odeh for cultivating a “powerful partnership” between NLNG and the media.
