DR. COSMAS MADUABUCHUKWU MADUKA CON
President & Chairman of The Coscharis Group
He is today an icon in the Nigerian Automobile sub sector of the economy as he is regarded as a benchmark for other operators in the industry. He is equally regarded as success personified as he had become a resource facilitator in youth empowerment seminars and conferences where he had strived to educate the generality of the people that one’s background does not determine one’s destiny.
He is currently serving on the Board of many companies notable among them are CG-Eko LLP, First System Refinishes Ltd., CG Biostadt Limited, and SIXT Rentals Nigeria amongst others. He served as a Director in Access Bank Plc., one of the leading banks in Nigeria for twelve (12) years from 2000-2012
In recognition of his outstanding qualities, experience and contributions to the business and commercial landscape, he was awarded Honorary Doctor of Business Administration (PhD) by the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 2003 and Afe Babalola University respectively.
Dr Maduka is an Alumnus of Harvard Business School (Executive Education Program). In September 2012, he was conferred with the National Honours of the Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. He emerged as the winner of the prestigious EY (Ernst & Young) award of the Entrepreneur of the Year 2020 for the West Africa region hereby represented the region at the global stage in the EY World Entrepreneur of the Year amongst many other awards won over the years.
He was in October 2024 also recognised by the reputable Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD) as an honorary Fellow of the Institute.
As a family man, he is happily married to his better half, his late wife (Mrs. Charity Maduka) whose combination of their first names creatively delivered the brand name COSCHARIS from COSMAS and CHARITY. Unfortunately, the wife who was the Vice–President of the Coscharis Group passed on two years ago on the 27th of November 2021 to have her final rest with her maker. They were blessed with four boys and a girl.
