Nestlé Nigeria has announced the appointment of Toritseju Egbebi as its new Corporate Communications and Sustainability Manager, effective November 1, 2026. This move follows the retirement of Victoria Uwadoka, who served the company for a decade. Egbebi brings 18 years of professional experience in public relations and corporate communications across various sectors, including technology, financial services, and fast-moving consumer goods.
Egbebi, who currently serves as Nestlé Nigeria's Corporate Affairs Manager, has played a significant role in strengthening the company's corporate reputation, public affairs management, and stakeholder engagement. Through the Nestlé for Good platform, she has contributed to deepening public understanding of the company's investments in healthier nutrition, community development, and environmental sustainability. Her efforts have also fostered stronger relationships with the media and other stakeholders.
Victoria Uwadoka's 10-year tenure at Nestlé Nigeria helped shape the company's corporate communications strategy, stakeholder relations, and Creating Shared Value agenda. During her time with the company, Uwadoka championed several communications and sustainability initiatives covering nutrition, youth empowerment, agriculture, water stewardship, environmental responsibility, and community development. Her leadership also strengthened internal communications and employee engagement.
Uwadoka made notable contributions to the growth of Nigeria's communications profession through industry leadership, advocacy, and mentorship. She consistently promoted strategic communications as an important driver of business growth and societal development. Her retirement marks the end of an era, and Nestlé Nigeria is set to benefit from Egbebi's experience and expertise in her new role.
Wassim Elhusseini, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nestlé Nigeria, commended Uwadoka for her decade of dedicated service, describing her contributions to the company's reputation and the wider communications profession as significant. He praised her leadership, professionalism, and commitment to the organisation, while wishing her success in the next phase of her career.
Elhusseini expressed confidence in Egbebi's capacity to consolidate the gains recorded under her predecessor and further strengthen the company's communications and sustainability agenda. He emphasised that effective communication and meaningful stakeholder engagement remain central to building trust and advancing Nestlé's corporate purpose. Egbebi's experience and understanding of the business are expected to deepen stakeholder relationships and strengthen public awareness of the positive impact of Nestlé's operations in Nigeria.
With Egbebi at the helm, Nestlé Nigeria is poised to continue its commitment to corporate communications and sustainability. The company's Creating Shared Value agenda and sustainability initiatives are expected to continue growing, with a focus on nutrition, community development, and environmental responsibility. Egbebi's appointment marks a new chapter in Nestlé Nigeria's history, and her expertise will be crucial in driving the company's communications and sustainability efforts forward.
