    Mouka reaffirms leadership in Africa’s raw material value chain

    Mouka, Nigeria’s leading manufacturer of quality sleep solutions and a proud member of the Dolidol International group, has reiterated its commitment to strengthening Africa’s raw material value chain at the recently concluded Africa Raw Materials Summit 2025, held from May 20 to 22 at the Abuja Continental Hotel.

    The summit, themed “Shaping the Future of Africa’s Resource Landscape,” brought together industry trailblazers, policymakers, and innovators to spotlight strategies for optimising the continent’s abundant raw material potential. Mouka, a recognised leader in the sleep industry, stood out as a strategic partner at the event.

    Speaking on the importance of the summit, Femi Fapohunda, Managing Director of Mouka Limited, stated: “Mouka is proud to be a key player in Africa’s sleep industry’s raw material value chain. Our footprint extends beyond Nigeria to the rest of Africa and the Middle East, through our holding company, Dolidol. At Mouka, we believe raw materials are more than just inputs — they are the starting point for transformation. That’s why we remain committed to quality, local sourcing, and sustainable innovation — all aimed at building a stronger Africa from the ground up.”

    At Mouka’s exhibition stand, summit attendees had the opportunity to explore how the brand transforms locally sourced raw materials into high-quality sleep products through remarkable craftsmanship and forward-thinking technology. Attendees were also offered expert consultations by a certified doctor from the Nigerian Society of Physiotherapy, who was available to address sleep and physiotherapy-related concerns, underscoring Mouka’s holistic approach to wellness and comfort.

    Mouka’s leadership presence extended beyond the exhibition floor.

    During the session, Fapohunda highlighted the urgent need for African countries to collaborate in harnessing the continent’s immense resource wealth. “Africa holds over 60% of the world’s arable land and 40% of key mineral deposits, including lithium essential for renewable energy. Yet, these resources remain underutilised. We must optimise our resources — from preservation of yield to ease of transportation — to enhance global competitiveness,” he emphasised.

    The summit organisers specially recognised Mouka’s strategic participation, reaffirming its role as a catalyst in Africa’s industrial evolution. In his acceptance remarks, Fapohunda called for a shift from rhetoric to action: “Africa needs to stop looking to the West for solutions. We have what it takes to succeed—from vast resources to resilient people. It’s time we enact the right laws, implement forward-thinking policies, and foster regional collaborations. In addition, I urge the government, research institutions, the private sector, and all key stakeholders to ensure the laudable strategies discussed here today don’t remain on paper. Let us commit to action, collaboration, and innovation that can truly transform Africa’s raw material potential into tangible economic and social value.”

    Using the Mouka-Dolidol partnership as a model, he underscored the benefits of firm-to-firm relationships that enable shared expertise and expanded market access. With operations already in Morocco, Ethiopia, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, and soon Togo, Mouka’s pan-African footprint reflects the advantages of synergistic continental partnerships.

    Founded in 1959, Mouka is Nigeria’s foremost manufacturer of high-quality mattresses, pillows, and other sleep solutions. Now a part of the Dolidol International group, Mouka continues to push the boundaries of innovation, sustainability, and local content development in the sleep industry.

    For over six decades, Mouka has been committed to helping Nigerians and Africans sleep well and live better by transforming Africa’s raw materials into world-class comfort products.

  • ‘Our quest for right sleep culture’

    ‘Our quest for right sleep culture’

    •Mouka marks World Sleep Day

    Mouka, the market leader in the nation’s sleep industry, has joined the World Sleep Society, thousands of sleep health professionals and advocates worldwide in raising awareness of the importance of prioritising sleep health.

    This year, the company has partnered with the industry’s key opinion leaders, the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy(NSP) and the National ssociation of Orthopaedic and Manual Therapists (NAOMT), to sensitise Nigerians on the pivotal role of sleep in well-being in line with the 2025 theme:“Make Sleep A Priority.”

    According to the World Sleep Society, scientific evidence proves good sleep promotes wellness and resilience, while poor sleep negatively impacts almost all aspects of the body and mind. Sleep is as important as nutrition and exercise, and is a critical pillar of health.

    On the theme and how it relates to the company’s mission, Mouka’s Managing Director, Mr Femi Fapohunda, said: “We have been adding comfort to life since 1959, not only through our top-quality products but also by providing sleep education to our consumers.

     “Our quest to safeguard their well-being is at the core of everything we do. This is why we commemorate World Sleep Day annually and invest in CSR programs, marketing campaigns and other initiatives to ensure that Nigerians imbibe the right sleep culture”.

     The Presidents of the medical associations NSP and NAOMT, which have both exclusively endorsed Mouka as the brand that provides world-class, ergonomically compliant products, also shared their thoughts on the 2025 theme.

     Dr Felix Odusanya,  National President of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP), said that despite its importance, many individuals neglect sleep, prioritising work, social media, and other activities over a good night’s rest. Neglecting sleep can have severe consequences on overall health and well-being. It is also worth noting that good quality sleep requires good, comfortable, and conducive sleep surfaces and materials like those made by Mouka.

    “ Professor Ojoawo Adesola Ojo BMR PT, President of NAOMT and a Professor of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and Anthropometry OAU Ile-Ife, gave his submissions on the theme.

     “Making sleep a priority involves self-discipline. It can improve productivity and, ultimately, the quality of life. Good sleep is important for better memory and performance, healthy weight management, lowered risk of heart disease, emotional stability and stronger immunity”.

     In celebration of this year’s World Sleep Day, Mouka conducted physical sensitisation sessions at selected organisations in partnership with the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP) and the National Association of Manual Therapists (NAOMT). Educational content was also deployed in print and digital platforms to reach a wider audience.

     Shedding more light on the World Sleep Day plans at Mouka, Yemisi Obadina, Senior Brand and Innovation Manager, said, “ As the market leader, we are aware that the onus lies on us to educate our consumers on the importance of quality sleep to the physical and mental wellbeing. Prioritising quality sleep can help prevent so many illnesses that are plaguing our country today, such as coronary artery disease, cardiovascular mortality, obesity, dementia, risk of stroke and even seizures.

     Our current marketing campaigns, “Good sleep better life” and “Sleep well, live well” also drive home the same message. Sleep is one of the 3 key pillars of a healthy life; the other two are good nutrition and exercise”. Mouka is a proud member of the Dolidol International group and the market leader in the sleep industry in the Middle East and Africa.

     The company boasts of an innovative portfolio of products, which include the Royal range of luxury mattresses, which provide a 5-star indulgent sleep experience; the Bio Pillow, made with breakthrough biocrystal technology for stress relief; and the Regal Plus Orthopaedic mattress with a pillow top for added comfort.
