Dr. Cosmas Maduabuchukwu Maduka, CON, is a distinguished Nigerian entrepreneur, philanthropist, and ordained minister whose life is a compelling testimony of God’s grace, faith, and purpose. Born on December 24, 1958, in Jos, Plateau State, Nigeria, Dr. Maduka faced profound challenges early in life. Following the death of his father at the age of four, he was thrust into hardship and denied access to formal education. Yet, through divine providence, unwavering faith, and a steadfast work ethic, he rose from these humble beginnings to become one of Africa’s most respected business leaders.

Dr. Maduka is the Founder, President, and Chief Executive Officer of Coscharis Group, a company he began as a small trading outfit which has, by the grace of God, grown into a major conglomerate with interests across diverse sectors of the Nigerian economy. Most notably, Coscharis Motors is a leading player in the automotive industry and holds exclusive dealership rights for globally renowned brands such as Rolls-Royce, BMW, MINI, Jaguar Land Rover, Renault, and Ford. His success in business is matched by his commitment to using his platform as a witness for Christ in the marketplace.

A man passionate about empowering others, Dr. Maduka is a frequent speaker at youth conferences, Christian gatherings, and entrepreneurship forums. He openly shares his personal testimony, emphasizing that one’s background does not define one’s destiny. Rather, it is faith in God, discipline, and diligence that shape the future. His life message, consistently reinforced in his teachings, is that with God, all things are possible.

Dr. Maduka’s influence has extended beyond the business world into Christian ministry and philanthropy. He is an ordained minister in the Local Christian Assembly Church, where he continues to serve faithfully. Known for boldly professing his faith, he integrates biblical principles into his leadership and decision-making. He has supported numerous faith-based initiatives and ministries, and his philanthropic work reflects his Christian values. Through the Coscharis Foundation, he has provided scholarships to countless underprivileged students and funded significant infrastructure in higher institutions—including a law lecture theatre at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, and a three-storey residential facility at the College of Medicine, Nnamdi Azikiwe University.

Dr. Maduka has received widespread recognition for his contributions to society. These include honorary degrees from the University of Nigeria (2003), Afe Babalola University (2016), and Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (2021). In 2012, he was awarded the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON) by the President of Nigeria.

International media have also highlighted his journey of faith and business success, with features in Forbes Magazine and on CNN Marketplace Africa.

He has served on the boards of major institutions, including a 12-year tenure as Director of Access Bank Plc, and as President of the Nigerian Table Tennis Federation. He is also an alumnus of the Harvard Business School Executive Education Program and serves on advisory boards of leading Nigerian business schools.

Above all, Dr. Cosmas Maduka is a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. His life exemplifies what it means to serve God in both the church and the marketplace. He was married to his beloved wife, the late Mrs. Charity Maduka, and together they were blessed with five children. He continues to live a life of purpose, using his story to inspire, uplift, and advance the Kingdom of God.
