Nestlé Nigeria Plc has appointed Toritseju (Toju) Egbebi as its Corporate Communications and Sustainability Manager, effective November 1, 2026, following the retirement of Victoria Uwadoka, who spent 10 years with the company.
Egbebi, who currently serves as Corporate Affairs Manager, brings 18 years of experience in public relations and corporate communications across the technology, financial services and consumer goods sectors.
Since joining Nestlé Nigeria, she has played a key role in strengthening the company’s corporate reputation, public affairs and stakeholder engagement.
Through the company’s Nestlé for Good platform, she has helped increase awareness and understanding of its investments in healthier nutrition, thriving communities and environmental sustainability.
She has also contributed to strengthening strategic relationships with the media and other stakeholders, supporting the company’s efforts to communicate its business priorities and social impact.
Uwadoka, during her decade at Nestlé Nigeria, played a central role in advancing the company’s corporate reputation, stakeholder relationships and Creating Shared Value agenda.
Her leadership helped drive communications and sustainability initiatives across nutrition, youth empowerment, agriculture, water stewardship, environmental responsibility and community development.
She also championed employee engagement and worked to translate complex corporate and sustainability priorities into clear and credible messages that fostered public understanding and trust.
Beyond her contributions to Nestlé Nigeria, Uwadoka has supported the development of Nigeria’s communications profession through industry leadership, advocacy and mentorship. She has also championed the role of strategic communications in driving business growth and societal progress.
Commenting on the transition, Nestlé Nigeria’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Wassim Elhusseini, expressed appreciation for Uwadoka’s contributions and confidence in Egbebi’s ability to build on the company’s communications and stakeholder engagement efforts.
“Victoria has made an important contribution to Nestlé Nigeria over the past decade, and we are deeply grateful for the leadership, professionalism and commitment she has brought to our business and the communications profession. We wish her every success in this next chapter.
“As Toju takes on this responsibility, I have every confidence in the experience, judgement and energy she brings to the role. Strong communication and stakeholder engagement are fundamental to building trust and advancing our purpose, and I am confident she will continue strengthening these relationships while helping us demonstrate the positive impact of our business in Nigeria,” Elhusseini said.
Egbebi’s appointment marks a new chapter in the company’s corporate communications and sustainability leadership as it continues to strengthen stakeholder relationships, promote responsible business practices and communicate its contributions to communities across Nigeria.
