Education they say is the key. It is the key that unlocks doors of the future. But then, as much as we pay much attention on education, we must also ensure we pay much premium on quality education. Quality education is what actually makes the difference. We have done a serious research to get the list of best secondary schools in Nigeria. Sadly, all (or better still majority) are private owned either by individuals or religious body. The Government secondary schools are performing, but not as private.

Therefore, in order to lay a good academic foundation for your child (ward), getting a school with high academic quality will go a long way to help shape your ward. Though, the truth remains that these schools are expensive and as such can only be afforded by the high class people. We have researched a big deal in arriving at this list of best secondary schools in Nigeria. We considered lots of factors like, standard of education, quality of teachers, ICT facilities, students’ performance, school reputation and lots more.

It is very important to know that most students that pass through these schools come out very bright. They make good grades in the examinations (both internal and external). Parents should ensure that they get a good secondary school for their children. Secondary schools are pivotal to the development of your child. It goes a long way in molding your child and in helping them make relevant choices as regards their careers.

As more and more schools gain more competitive advantages over others, we will keep updating this list. For now, here is the list of the 10 best secondary schools in Nigeria.

Expensive...can govt schools provide such infrastructures and facilities? No! How awesome would it be if they did. I like Germany and their free university education. Our curriculum needs to be renewed as well. We're still using old textbooks and curriculum of two decades ago. University education is even worse. Lecturer teaching students how to use MS Word Something that should be taught in primary or secondary school.
In other words, God bless Nigeria

The way some of you just use a lone wolf incidence to make a general judgement is just alarming. So because a school provides one of the best students in waec, it means it's better than another school who had all it's students pass in flying colors. The federal government school you're talking about, the competition is not as tough as most of these big schools .
