At the well attended event held on Monday January 3rd, at the Queens Park, Victoria Island, President of the Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, described his late wife as a loving woman who showed boundless love and care without discrimination.
“From the beginning of our journey, God faithfully led us for 43 years of love in intimate relationship until November 27, 2021 when you peacefully went to sleep in the Lord.
“This date has become like 9/11 in my life, as I was obviously under heavy attack, because that is precisely what your sudden departure means to me.
“The love we shared, however, gave birth to the institution that is today known as the Coscharis Group, and most importantly, the loving gift of five wonderful children, although we had to wait for six years before Cosmas Junior was born.”
In 1984, Mrs. Charity Maduka decided to go into business with her husband after he had a couple of unsuccessful partnerships. They founded a company which they named Coscharis, coined from syllables in each of their two names, Cosmas and Charity, and she took up the role of Vice-President.
In the very early days of the company, she was the receptionist, the secretary, the accountant, the storekeeper, while also serving as the head of recruitment and training.
As Coscharis grew she continued to contribute immensely, overseeing, and directing several back-office teams. For two decades she would spearhead the Administrative, Legal, Works/Maintenance and Export teams of the organization.
In 2005, she became the Executive Chairman / COO of two Coscharis subsidiaries – Coscharis Beverages and Coscharis Properties respectively, positions she filled right up until her very untimely departure.
