Nollywood actor, producer, and entertainer entrepreneur. Usman ADEYEMI popularly known as Uzee Usman has continued to attract global recognition for his outstanding contributions to filmmaking and his unwavering commitment to promoting peace and cultural harmony through the creative industry.
Uzee, who has built a reputation as one of Nollywood’s strongest voices for unity and social impact, was recently honoured at the 15th Peace Achievers International Awards, where he received the Actor of the Year and Entertainment Excellence Award. The organisers described him as “a creative ambassador whose work continues to promote peace, understanding, and positive global values.”
The recognition comes amid a series of international accolades celebrating his influence beyond the screen. At the Global Entrepreneur Festival held in Ghana, Uzee was not only awarded but also officially unveiled as an Ambassador, a role that underscores his growing status as a cross-continental cultural advocate.
Speaking shortly after receiving the honours, Uzee expressed gratitude and reaffirmed his mission to use entertainment as a tool for global transformation.
“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.”
Uzee attributed his success to what he described as a divine responsibility to inspire change. According to him, creativity becomes more meaningful when it uplifts society.
“God has given me this talent for a purpose, and that purpose goes beyond entertainment,”he noted. “Film is a powerful medium. It can heal, it can educate, and it can bring divided people together. That is why promoting peace will always be at the centre of my work.”
The award-winning filmmaker also extended appreciation to his supporters, colleagues, and the organisations that continue to acknowledge his contributions.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone who believes in my journey, the fans, my team, and the institutions recognising my work,” 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.”
Industry observers say Uzee’s recognitions are well-deserved, noting that his films often carry themes of unity, cultural identity, and social upliftment. With his latest honours and ambassadorial role, the Nollywood star appears poised to deepen his influence both within the creative industry and in peace-advocacy circles worldwide.
As his international profile rises, Uzee Usman continues to demonstrate that Nollywood can be a powerful force for cultural diplomacy, youth empowerment, and global peace with one story at a time.
