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)?! 27 Likes 10 Shares |

Proudly ACA, Integritas! St. Thomas Aquinas College, my great Alma Mater The School Anthem Taught us to always strive for First Prize. Second position was never celebrated in Aquinas College......Even here's an evidence, the first school represented on this thread, no other one but ACA! But OP, are you sure about Oyemekun Grammar school? I think the founding year was 1960. 19 Likes |

Wow! Nice to know that some of our secondary schools have been there for years. Unfortunately, Nigerians go school but don't allow school go through them. That's why you see a strength filled young men being eaten up by tribalism as if anyone had the power to choose his tribe before birth. There are really lots of intelligent fools in this country 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Taking the list further beyond 1940 will only cause trouble for the poster. There are scores of schools not listed in that list. My school isn't listed and I'm not finding this funny at all. Stay with pre1900 and stay safe. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
