Founder-President, Wellbeing Foundation Africa (WBFA), Her Excellency, Mrs. Toyin Ojora Saraki has mourned the passage of Mrs. Felicity Aliana Ukoko, a senior staff at her Foundation, who passed away last Sunday, 15th of October.

According to a statement from the Foundation on behalf of H.E Mrs. Saraki, Mrs. Ukoko who joined Wellbeing Foundation Africa in 2015 as the Head of Advocacy and Midwifery has contributed immensely to the huge breakthrough of the Foundation’s Mamacare Antenatal and Postnatal Programme in Abuja, Kwara and Lagos States.
