Mugera, who served as BBC boss for 23 years has been appointed as Director of Communication and External Relations for the African Development Bank Group. Through an announcement issued by the bank on Tuesday, September 7, Mugera is set to begin the role effective October 1, 2021. "Mugera, a Kenyan national, brings extensive experience to this role. He is a seasoned journalist and media manager with over 20 years of expertise working internationally," the bank announced.

Accepting his appointment, Mugera stated, "It is an honour to work for the African Development Bank Group and support its vision for the continent. This is an institution that is leading Africa’s effort to transform itself and make a real difference to the lives of millions of its people. The Bank has the talent, the expertise, knowledge and the story that needs to be told across Africa and to a global audience.” His new role will entail building financial and political support for the African Development Bank Group and strengthen the institution's role as a global solution provider, especially for Africa’s most pressing development challenges.
