A Nigerian medical doctor based in the United States of America, Godwin Maduka, is currently constructing a mega structure intended to be used as a specialist Orthopaedic hospital in his Umuchukwu community in Orumba South Local Government Area of the state.

The edifice still under construction and which is being erected singlehandedly by Dr Maduka will be equipped with state of art facilities and provide jobs to qualified Nigerians at home and abroad, NDIBE.ORG gathered. Umuchukwu, a boundary community between Anambra and Abia State, is relatively rural.

Dr Godwin Maduka who is also an entrepreneur and owns the Las Vegas Pain Institute in Nevada, United States is well known as a philanthropist who has assisted the less privileged in his community and state on several occasions. In 2015, he built no fewer than 100 bungalows for widows and other indigent persons in his Umuchukwu community. He demolished all 100 mostly thatched houses, replacing them with three or four bedroom bungalows, complete with green aluminium roofing sheets, the community residents confirmed.

When interviewed, Maduka explained his philanthropic gesture, saying, “I embarked on all these to save my people from my ugly experience while growing up. I grew up in a home that when it rained, it rained more inside the house. ‘’Wealth would be meaningless if it cannot be used to better the lives of the people around the custodian. ‘’The wealthy must provide jobs for the youths; build skills acquisition centres for willing adults, market stalls for men and women, if society must be secure,” he said.

His Personal Assistant, Vincent Otaokpukpu told our correspondent that “Maduaka has opened up Umuchukwu by building schools, hospitals, churches, security posts, industries, police station with modern working tools.” ‘’He believes that government alone cannot give resounding development due to its meagre resources when compared to the volume of social, economic amenities expected by the people. ‘’Umuchukwu, one of the most backward and remote communities in the state, was totally denied any meaningful government attention. Nkerehi, as it was then called, was in abysmal destitution.

Otaokpukpu maintained that Maduka’s gesture compelled former governor of the state, Mr. Peter Obi, to construct two roads connecting Umuchukwu with other communities. ‘’When the foundation visited then governor Obi at the government house in Awka with the pathetic story of the absence of roads in the area, it promised to finance 50 per cent of the road contract, while the state would pay 50 per cent.

He said, “Obi, moved by such an offer, decided to visit the community himself and what he saw overwhelmed him and he took sole responsibility of building the two roads alone. ‘’The foundation has also built community centre, post office, a state High Court, and provided transformers for electricity, primary and secondary schools, civic centre and so on.
