USAfrica and CLASSmagazine (Houston) can report that Nigerian international businessman Matthew Azu died earlier today February 15, 2012 in his multimillion dollar home in the very upscale Parkview section of Lagos.

Azu, in his mid-50s, had left Houston for Nigeria only a few days ago. He is survived by his wife Esther and grown children.

Azu who hailed from the Delta State of Nigeria was friendly with several influential politicians and business executives.

Azu also owned Houston-based Maz USA Inc, Maz LLC and several other companies which, in part, later facilitated his financial successes. He had a very humble beginning.

His friends and family members are stunned by the sudden, untimely passing of Mr. Azu.
