Also, in a recent television interview, Mr. Maduka, spoke laudably about how his late wife impacted his career especially in the early years.
According to Cosmos, he was a poor man when he met his wife. He said, her parents, who were upper class people at that time, believed she was insane when she insisted on getting married to him; adding that “Despite all the hurdles, she stuck with me.”
He affirmed that:
“This is the reason today, she owns a part of the company, and has free access to the finances of the company.”
The 1978 marriage, between the duo, was blessed with four (4) children. Three (3) sons, and a daughter.
May her soul Rest In Peace.
