He also held different positions, serving as the Chairman of the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee of the board of directors of Guinness Nigeria.
In a notice to the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE), the brewery giant disclosed that the exit of Mr Rewane from the board became effective Thursday, December 31, 2020.
