Organisers of the ceremony described Uzee Usman as a “creative ambassador whose work continues to promote peace, understanding, and positive global values,” a nod to his consistent effort to blend storytelling with purpose. The dual honours further reinforce his growing influence, not just within the Nigerian film industry, but across the global creative space.
Beyond the awards ceremony, the actor has also expanded his international footprint. He was recently unveiled as an ambassador at the Global Entrepreneur Festival in Ghana, a development that reflects his increasing involvement in initiatives that connect creativity, leadership, and social change.
Speaking after receiving the awards, Uzee expressed deep gratitude and reaffirmed his commitment to using entertainment as a tool for transformation. He noted that the recognitions serve as motivation to do more meaningful work, particularly in areas of cultural advocacy and youth empowerment.
“I will continue to use my platform and voice to impact cultural advocacy, peace, and empower the next generation globally,” he said. “These recognitions encourage me to do more; to tell the right stories and to spread love through the movie industry.”
Describing his creative journey as a divine calling, Uzee emphasised that his work goes beyond personal success. According to him, film remains one of the most powerful tools for healing, education, and unity, especially in a world often divided by differences.
“God has given me this talent for a purpose, and that purpose goes beyond entertainment,” he added. “Film can heal, educate, and bring divided people together. That is why promoting peace will always be at the centre of my work.”
The award-winning filmmaker also took a moment to acknowledge the people and institutions that have supported his journey so far, expressing appreciation for the belief and encouragement he continues to receive.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone who believes in my journey — the fans, my team, and the organisations recognising my contributions,” he said. “This is just the beginning. I am committed to creating more impactful films, supporting young creatives, and pushing cultural dialogue on a global stage.”
With these latest honours, Uzee Usman’s profile as both an entertainer and advocate for peace continues to grow, positioning him as a creative force whose influence extends well beyond the screen.
