Sokefun has over 35 years of work experience, according to the statement.
She moved to the Oando Group in 2002, where within a few years, she rose to the position of Chief Legal Officer.
The statement added that during this period, Sokefu also sat on the board of the telecom’s giant – Celtel/Zain (now Airtel) as an alternate director.
