Mouka, a leading name in Nigeria’s sleep industry, is joining forces with the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy (NSP) to emphasise the significance of quality sleep during Ramadan. This initiative aims to underscore the role of restful sleep in supporting overall mental and physical health throughout the holy month.
Dr Usman Abba Ahmed, Vice President of the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy, highlighted the importance of maintaining quality sleep despite the demands of fasting. “Adequate and restorative sleep during Ramadan is essential for health and productivity during the day. Adults should aim to achieve the recommended hours of quality sleep each night, even amidst fasting,” Dr. Ahmed stated.
He further noted that achieving such quality sleep is closely tied to using high-quality mattresses and pillows. Dr. Ahmed endorsed Mouka’s products, citing their adherence to international standards as evaluated by NSP. “For those observing Ramadan, we recommend Mouka mattresses and pillows to support physical and mental well-being,” he added.
Founded in 1959 by the Faiz Moukarim family in Kano, Mouka has grown from its origins in furniture and iron bed manufacturing to become a market leader in the Nigerian sleep industry. In December 2022, Mouka transitioned to new ownership under Dolidol, a prominent player in the sleep industry of Francophone Africa based in Morocco.
Mouka operates three state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in Kaduna, Lagos, and Benin, supported by an extensive network of depots across Nigeria. With over 3,000 branded outlets, Mouka is the most widely distributed bedding brand in the country.
This collaboration with the Nigeria Society of Physiotherapy reflects Mouka’s ongoing commitment to enhancing public health through quality sleep solutions. By aligning with NSP, Mouka reaffirms its dedication to supporting the well-being of Nigerians during Ramadan and beyond.
