‘He Touched Many Lives’ — Tributes pour as Cathedral honours Chief Godswill Nwosu (KSC)

Friends, family members, associates and well-wishers on Monday gathered at the Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp, Abuja, for a solemn Service of Songs in honour of late Chief Engineer Godswill Nwosu (KSC), whose life was celebrated for his generosity, humility and unwavering commitment to God and humanity.

The cathedral was filled to capacity as mourners paid glowing tributes to the late engineer, fondly known as “Chinemeze,” describing him as a devoted Christian, philanthropist, humanitarian and family man whose impact transcended the church and society.

Delivering a tribute during the service, the Primate of All Nigeria and Bishop of Abuja, The Most Rev. Henry Ndukuba, described the late Nwosu as a man of deep faith, wisdom and unwavering commitment to the work of God.

According to the Primate, although the Anglican Communion had lost several dedicated members this year, the passing of Chief Nwosu remained particularly painful because of his invaluable contributions to the Cathedral Church of the Advent and the wider Christian community.

He encouraged the bereaved family to remain united and take solace in the belief that the late engineer had completed his earthly assignment and transitioned into eternal glory.

Primate Ndukuba also challenged those present to reflect on the kind of legacy they would leave behind.

> “What will be your legacy? What will people say about you when you die? How many lives have you touched? Where will you spend your eternity?” he asked.

He added that the value of any individual is measured not by wealth or status but by the number of lives positively impacted.

> “Chief Godswill laboured well and now rests with the Lord, leaving a legacy that will endure. Those of us still alive need to live for Christ so that when we die, our legacies will also be good.”

Speaking on behalf of friends and associates, Barr. Nnamdi Asumugha recalled that he shared not only a hometown in Nnewi with the deceased but was also his neighbour in Abuja.

He described Chief Nwosu as humble, approachable and exceptionally generous.

> “He was a man you could reach out to at any time, for anything, and he would always respond,” Asumugha said, adding that news of his passing came as a profound shock to members of their community.

Representing staff members, Mrs. Uju Chibogu described the late engineer as a compassionate employer and father figure whose leadership was marked by wisdom, simplicity and selflessness.

> “Though his absence leaves a void that can never be filled, he will always remain in our hearts,” she said.

The Vicar’s Council Society, members of the Cathedral Church of the Advent, the Men’s Fellowship, and the Nnewi Council of Knights all remembered the late Nwosu as an active church member whose generosity, dependability and humility distinguished him throughout his lifetime.

Speaking on behalf of the Bishop’s nominees, Mr. Samuel Olayinka described him as a humble servant of God who remained steadfast in faith until his passing.

Family tributes were led by his daughter, Nmesoma Nwosu, who described her father as a great leader and selfless man whose service to God and humanity would never be forgotten.

His son, Chigozim Nwosu, remembered him as a gentle father who consistently taught his children to use their blessings to care for themselves while extending help to others.

Preaching from Luke 16:19, cleric Fatusi reminded worshippers that every action on earth carries eternal consequences, urging everyone to live purposeful lives rooted in faith and compassion.

Speaking on behalf of the family, Chief Nwosu’s elder brother, Dr. Chinedu Zephaniah, thanked the clergy, dignitaries, friends and sympathisers for their support.

He also expressed appreciation to corporate organisations, including Zenith Bank, Globacom, and MTN, for standing by the family during the period of mourning.

Late Chief Engr. Godswill Nwosu (KSC), born in 1977, died in 2026. He is survived by his wife, four children, his parents, Sir and Lady Zeph Nwosu (Ugunnwanne) of Akaboezem, Uruagu, Nnewi, and two brothers.

He is scheduled to be laid to rest at his family home in Nnewi on July 10, 2026.
