Chinalurumogu Eze is a 300-level student in the Department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. She has been recently announced as the winner of the 2023 Future Creative Leaders Academy Price.
The participants of this competition were asked to create a two-minute video to showcase their creativity and explain why they deserve a place in the Roger Hatchuel Student Academy, reserved for only 30 select students from around the world.
Miss Eze was nominated along with two others in her class, Miss Ifeoma Aroh and Mr. Felix Udochukwu by her department. Miss Eze made history by becoming the first student from her institution to join the academy at the international level. She was proclaimed the winner on the 29th of March by CHINI Africa after the international jury made their choice.
This prize entitles her to attend the Roger Hatchuel Student Academy taking place during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in France. The festival is scheduled to hold from Monday, June 19th to Friday, June 23rd.

In December 2022, Miss Eze also created another record by winning the Youth Digest Campus Journalist of the Year award, thus becoming the first student to bring the award to a South-East Nigeria university, UNN, and emerging as the second female winner ever.
