The highlighted schools morphed from primary schools/Teachers’ Training Colleges into secondary schools before independence. The exact date of metamorphosis of these schools cannot be ascertained, hence the original years of establishment was used in listing them. Primary Schools and Teachers’ Training Colleges that didn’t morph into secondary schools are exempted from the list. Northern Provincial Schools are also exempted because of inadequate information/recorded history. Examples include;
Adamawa Provincial Secondary School (Gen. Murtala Muhammed College), Yola (1920)?!
Katsina Provincial Secondary school (Government College, Katsina) (1930)?!

You missed out Christ's school, Ado-ekiti

Why was Lagos port engaging in marginalisation of other ports as far back as then?

Lagos and marginalisation sef.

Titcombe college nko?

Established in 1927 by the Northern Regional Government, the famous Rumfa College, Kano, now appears to be surviving only through the help of its old boys, due mainly to the neglect by successive administrations in the state.

At the age of 87, if Rumfa College Kano were to be a human being, it would have been dead by now or locked in a battle with old age related ailments.
Although the school still exists, a large part of its land area has been taken over by other institutions established by the state government.

Osogbo Grammar School now Osogbo government high school is the first secondary school in oṣun division established in 1950

Proudly ACA, Integritas! St. Thomas Aquinas College, my great Alma Mater

But OP, are you sure about Oyemekun Grammar school? I think the founding year was 1960.

I'm also an alumni of that great citadel of learning.
An institution that has produced innumerable prominent figures in our society.
ACA builds you to be vibrant,vocal and an ebullient Man.
Whenever I remember this school, there is always a strange form of confidence instilled in me instantaneously.
An interesting story is that all the prominent figures in the last ondo state Governorship election are also alumni of that great school.
ACA integritas!

It's a pride to be an Ekorian. Eko Boys' High School - Indomino confidimus

Back in those days, the quality of education in these schools could rival any school anywhere in the world.

Unfortunately, today, most of these schools are a shadow of themselves
