GOVERNMENT COLLEGE UMUAHIA (GCU)

Welcome to GCU.

GCU is a world-class institution providing a global secondary school education
for boys.

Started in 1929 by Rev. Robert Fisher, GCU was established by the colonial
government and subsequently managed by a succession of regional and state
governments till 2014, when the Abia State government ceded the management of
the school to the Fisher Educational Development Trust (the “Fisher Trust”), a
public private trust. The Fisher Trust is a registered trust set up by the GCU
Old Boys Association to take over and manage GCU. GCU is now an independent
school owned and operated as a social enterprise by the Fisher Trust.

In 2019, the last set of students admitted by the Abia State government
graduated. The school was closed for a couple of years to allow the Fisher Trust
to rebuild the school. The rebuilding is complete. Our doors are open, ready to
welcome and nurture brilliant young boys from around Africa.

GCU is focused on the future even as it continues to preserve its long and
distinguished heritage of all-round excellence. GCU is poised to serve as a
catalyst, providing a new generation of boys with the best secondary education
in Nigeria, a supportive network of friends across different generations and
geographies, as well as the hard and soft skills they need to navigate the
future. 

GCU has one of Nigeria’s largest secondary school campuses. At almost 90
hectares, our sprawling grounds mean we have enough room for our boys to learn
and play. Everyone at GCU is committed to providing a safe and happy environment
where all our boys, regardless of individual strengths and aptitudes, will have
the opportunity to thrive.

Our History


WHY GCU?

We believe that a holistic secondary education like that offered at GCU is a
springboard for excelling in life. We aim to provide young boys across Africa
with access to the kind of education that sets them up for success. 

GCU’s global network of distinguished and committed alumni, outstanding faculty
and world-class boarding facilities make GCU a compelling choice.

Our Vision and Mission



THE GCU EXPERIENCE

GCU’s motto, “In Unum Luceant” – “may we shine as one” is an invocation that
reflects GCU’s hope for its students. Education at GCU is focused on providing
each boy with the resources and support he needs to thrive. GCU offers a robust
and expansive international secondary education. Starting from Rev. Fisher, our
pioneer principal, GCU has had a legacy of dedicated principals and teachers
committed to teaching and mentoring the boys under their care.

NETWORK

Since its founding in 1929, GCU has provided an elite education to thousands of
boys from Nigeria and Southern Cameroons. For the old boys, coming to GCU was
the opportunity of a lifetime. The education received at GCU was instrumental to
their success. Our old boys are pacesetters in different fields – from the arts,
economics, sciences, education, and politics to the military. From the inception
of the Nigerian National Order of Merit (NNOM), Nigeria’s highest honour for
intellectual and artistic achievement in 1979 when Chinua Achebe was among the
first set of recipients, several GCU old boys have gone on to receive the award
for excellence in different fields. GCU may possibly be the secondary school
with the highest number of recipients.
