By Jeffrey Agbo
Founder/CEO of Sundiata Post Media Ltd, Max Amuchie, has been given an Honorary Award of Science (Doctorate) by the Gulf American University, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
The award followed a year-long assessment on three areas – contribution to knowledge, humanitarian service and community development – which ended with Amuchie’s successful appearance before an Honorary Award Interview Panel set up by the Board of GAU on December 23, 2024, two days before the award was released.
At the panel session, Amuchie, a Rotarian, talked about his passion for humanitarian service. As President of the Rotary Club of Abuja CBD in the 2022-2023 Rotary Year, he led a board that successfully ended open defecation in the Central Primary School, Gidan Gimba, Nasarawa State. The club under his leadership built three modern toilets for the boys, girls and staff of the primary school. The project was commissioned on 23 June 2023.
He also started a Basic Education Project consisting of a block of classrooms and a headteacher’s office in the school. The project reached advanced level of completion before his tenure ended on 30 June 2023.
Amuchie told the panel that ending open defecation in the Gidan Gimba Primary School and starting the Basic Education Project meant so much to him as it was a significant achievement of his Rotary Club under his presidency, adding that the local chief of Gidan Gimba community, his subjects as well as the pupils and staff of the school expressed deep gratitude to the Rotary Club of Abuja CBD for the gesture.
