Leadership rooted in experience, vision, and community-centred values is essential for driving meaningful health outcomes. The Wellbeing Foundation Africa was delighted to officially welcome Dr. Adebukola Shittu-Muideen as our new Country Director and Executive Director, based at our Kwara Office.
Dr Bukola brings to WBFA a distinguished track record as a public health physician and health systems specialist with more than 15 years of experience shaping and implementing transformative health and social initiatives across Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa. Her work has consistently reflected a deep commitment to equity, quality, and sustainability in healthcare, with a particular focus on strengthening primary health systems and advancing gender-responsive service delivery.
Her leadership journey has seen her hold pivotal roles, including coordinating the Kwara State Health Insurance programme, where she contributed to expanding access to affordable healthcare for thousands of families, as well as consulting for UNICEF and other international organisations on critical public health strategies. With such extensive expertise, Dr Bukola’s appointment signals not only a continuation of WBFA’s mission but an expansion of the organisation’s capacity to deliver programmes that are grounded in evidence, responsive to local needs, and aligned with global best practices.
At WBFA, we believe that leadership is a catalyst for progress. The warm reception from the WBFA Kwara team and all our staff reflects the shared excitement and optimism surrounding this new chapter. With heartfelt prayers and collective support, we look forward to Dr Bukola’s stewardship in strengthening our programmes, deepening community trust, and expanding the positive impact we bring to the lives of women, children, and families across Nigeria.
Her Excellency Mrs Toyin Saraki, Founder and President of WBFA, alongside the entire Foundation, welcomes Dr Bukola into this new role with confidence that her vision and dedication will reinforce our legacy of advocacy, frontline service, and systems change, ensuring that no woman, no child, and no community is left behind.
