COSMAS MADUKA
President/CEO of Coscharis Group

His story is one that always inspires. Life had its way of constituting its obstacles but he chose to rise above it all and he succeeded. They said he wouldn’t amount to much, but according to him, destiny had a bigger script. From hawking akara on the streets of Jos, Nigeria, barefoot and hungry, to building one of the biggest business empires, “My life has been anything but ordinary” he said.

“Every small sale taught me the power of service. Every rejection taught me persistence. Every loss taught me discipline. Today, as Coscharis stands tall, I look back and see that greatness is not built in comfort, but in consistent choices to rise above circumstances. If any story teaches you anything, let it be this, you don’t have to start big to end great.” He stated.
