In recognition of his hard work, resilience, and business acumen, Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Cosmas Maduka, founder of Coscharis Group, has been honoured by real estate company Gtext Holdings with a street named after him at Jasper Housing Estate, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos.
Receiving the recognition, Maduka acknowledged the weight of the honour and the responsibility that comes with it. He shared his thoughts, saying, “It’s exciting and very humbling for me to know that someone else thought it appropriate to do this in my honour. Like I said earlier, it puts a lot of weight on me to live up to expectations because you can’t afford to mess up when people put such confidence in you.”
He continued: “Every day of my life at 66, I want to live to add value—as a fertilizer to the young generation—because there’s nothing more. In 14 years, I’ll be 80. So my life is only worth living today if I can positively impact any young man or woman, giving them inspiration and a beacon of hope.”
