A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the President of the Ugwumba Leadership Centre for Africa, Uche Nwosu, has been named Global Indian Ambassador for Economic Diplomacy.

Nwosu was appointed alongside Donald Ramotar, the former President of the Republic of Guyana, and other world leaders.

The beneficiary is expected to seek to expand the platform for the benefit of “the people of Nigeria and larger Africa,” according to a letter signed by Rajan Nazran, Chief Explorer, Global Indian Series.

Nwosu was appointed in appreciation of his services to the Nigerian government’s economic development objectives, particularly the empowerment of women and youths.

By this appointment, Nwosu has joined an exclusive community of global leaders, including former Heads of State, Ministers, Members of the House of Lords, Members of Royal Families, internationally acclaimed Human Rights activists, leading academics and high impact performers in over 23 countries who are driving change across the globe.

Responding to this international recognition, Mr. Nwosu said: “I did not know that our little contributions in creating jobs for unemployed youths in Nigeria through the Leadership Center is being recognized around the world. My appointment as their Ambassador for Economic Diplomacy will challenge me and my team to do more for our country and continent, Africa. I am happy that I will be joining other world leaders in driving global conversations and actions for a better world. I am really grateful.”
