The Gulf American University, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, has honoured Dr Max Amuchie, Founder/CEO, Sundiata Post Media Ltd with an Honorary Award of Science (Doctorate).

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 23 December 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.

Max Amuchie’s media platform, Sundiata Post, which was officially unveiled at an impressive ceremony in Abuja on 7 July 2015, won, in July 2020, the Google News JERF Award.

Amuchie, a chartered human resource consultant, is a Doctoral Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management.
He is also an Associate of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and member of the Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria.
He is a member and North-Central Zonal Co-ordinator of the Guild of Corporate Online Publishers (GOCOP), where, for three years, he has been a member of the Annual Conference Planning Committee.
A former Vice President, Public Relations of Unity Toastmasters Club, Abuja, Dr Max Amuchie is also a member of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE).

In a letter he sent to GAU in appreciation, he expressed hope that the award would open a vista of relationship between the Gulf American University and Sundiata Post Media Ltd as well as the Rotary Club of Abuja CBD.
