The ceremony was attended by members of Chukwuebuka’s family, close associates and representatives of the Professional Public Speaking and Leadership Academy Africa and the African Award Group, the organisations behind the award.
Director-General of PPSLA Africa, Dr Lotanna Okoye, delivered a keynote address before the presentation. He spoke about impact-driven leadership and the responsibility of African leaders to develop people, strengthen institutions and create lasting legacies.
The organisers said Chukwuebuka was selected for his contributions to enterprise development, youth empowerment, education and social-impact initiatives.
Chukwuebuka began his entrepreneurial journey in 2015 when he established Arnold & Associates Group while studying at university. The business has since expanded into real estate, construction, dredging, renewable energy and education technology.
Through his real estate interests, he has been associated with developments in Nigeria’s South-East, including Brownwood Luxury Estate, Presidential Estate, City of David Estate, Texas City, British Court, Heritage Estate and Livingstone Estate.
His renewable-energy interests are operated through Arnold & Associates Energy, which provides solar-power solutions.
Chukwuebuka also founded Lesson360, a digital learning platform designed to connect learners with educational resources and improve access to education through technology.
Beyond his business activities, the entrepreneur has reportedly supported young Nigerians through employment, mentorship and business opportunities. He has also contributed to scholarship programmes and housing assistance for widows.
His cultural initiatives include 360 Akụkọ Na Egwu Igbo and Mụta Asụsụ Igbo TV, digital platforms created to promote Igbo stories, folklore, music and language learning among children and young people.
The projects form part of efforts to use digital technology to encourage younger generations to learn and maintain connections with the Igbo language and cultural heritage.
The recognition adds to Chukwuebuka’s growing profile across real estate, education technology, renewable energy, cultural preservation and humanitarian service.
