Coscharis boss to youths: Value access over money

By Alaba Oyebanji

LAGOS —CHAIRMAN of Coscharis Group, Dr. Cosmas Maduka, has urged young Nigerians to embrace discipline, savings, and long-term vision if they hope to rise above economic hardship and build lasting wealth.

Speaking at the sixth edition of the Wealth Summit in Lagos, Maduka said: “Only a fool spends all he has; start saving early, even from age five. What matters most is not money, but access, relationships, and value creation. If I could make it, anyone can, but you must be willing to suffer the inconvenience of discipline.”

The summit, themed “The Real Money of Lagos,” was organised by Pertinence Group to empower entrepreneurs, professionals, and students with practical tools for wealth creation in a struggling economy.

Co-founder of Pertinence Group and Chairman of Pettysave, Dr Sunday Olorunsheyi, described the app as a “groundbreaking tool” that updates lives the same way software updates improve performance.

“Our mission is to create platforms for financial freedom. Genius is not just about savings but access to credit, commissions, and automation features for individuals and small businesses,” Olorunsheyi said.
