RMS chief executive Adeola Tejumola has been appointed head of the merged TNS RMS business in West, East and Central West Africa. Tejumola, said “It is fitting that on the 30th anniversary of RMS, we will commence the next stage of our development as part of TNS, the world’s largest custom research agency.”
