Msgr. Madu was the immediate past Secretary-General of the Catholic Secretariat, Abuja.
Last year, he celebrated his 37th ordination anniversary and dedicated service in God’s vineyard.
“He was a thoroughbred clergy. His fidelity to God’s work was unflinching. He lived his life drawing people to God and enriching our minds with the gospel of Christ,” Uzodimma added.
“I will miss him sorely. I enjoin us all to pray for the repose of his soul.”
