In a moment of well-deserved recognition, Dr. Ebuka I. Ewuzie, the visionary CEO of Bukasin Unique Services, was on 24th March, 2025, honoured with the Nelson Mandela Leadership Award of Excellence and Integrity and officially appointed as a Youth Ambassador by the ECOWAS Youth Council (EYC).
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the prestigious honour was presented in recognition of his exceptional leadership, unwavering commitment to youth empowerment, and transformative contributions to Nigeria’s real estate sector and the wider West African region.
The Nelson Mandela Leadership Award of Excellence and Integrity is one of the highest honours bestowed by the West Africa Youth Council, under the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It celebrates young individuals who have shown exemplary leadership, a passion for social impact, and a commitment to values that uplift communities and drive sustainable development.
Dr. Ewuzie was lauded for not only building a successful real estate company but also for using his platform to mentor young people, create wealth-building opportunities through land ownership, and advocate for ethical and inclusive development.
The award ceremony, held in Abuja, was graced by dignitaries, youth leaders, and industry stakeholders.
In his acceptance speech, Dr. Ewuzie expressed heartfelt gratitude to the ECOWAS Youth Council and reaffirmed his dedication to service:
“This is not just a personal achievement—it is a call to deeper responsibility. I dedicate this honor to every young African striving to create a better life for themselves and their communities. We all have a role to play in the development of Africa, and I’m committed to doing even more to empower the next generation.”
Dr. Ewuzie has championed affordable real estate solutions for everyday Nigerians, ensuring that land ownership becomes a reality not only for the wealthy but also for artisans, market women, and young professionals. His dedication to transparency, customer education, and community engagement has earned the trust of clients across multiple states in Nigeria.
As an ECOWAS Youth Ambassador, Dr. Ewuzie now joins a distinguished group of young African leaders recognized for their outstanding impact across sectors. His new role will involve further advocating for youth inclusion, promoting entrepreneurship, and fostering unity across ECOWAS nations.
The ECOWAS Youth Council commended Dr. Ewuzie for embodying the values of Nelson Mandela—courage, leadership, and integrity—and described him as a beacon of hope and an inspiration to millions of young people across Africa.
