Ugwu was Director of Ceremonies for the Baku 2015 European Games, for which she was awarded the “Dostlug” Order of Friendship by the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The Opening Ceremony was an Olympic-scale stadium show that reportedly cost twice as much as that of the London 2012 Olympics. Directed by Dimitris Papaioannou, who also created the Opening Ceremony of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games, the Baku 2015 Opening Ceremony included a performance by Lady Gaga that was coordinated by Ugwu.
