Encyclopedia
Government College Ikorodu (GCI) is a college in Ikorodu
, a city and Local Government Area in Lagos State
, Nigeria
.
Government college Ikorodu was established in September 1974 as a co- educational secondary school with an initial intake of about 200 pioneer students. These students were transferred from other secondary schools within Lagos state from where they were seconded based on the common entrance examination applications in that year. In the first year of the school, it occupied a temporary site on Obafemi Awolowo Way, Ikorodu then referred to as Agbowa road. The pioneer principal was Mr. Olatunde Balogun whose disciplinary disposition has contributed to a great deal in shaping the lives of those in the school.
The pioneer academic staff was composed of some experienced teachers ably supported by a couple of graduate teachers who were indeed pioneer national youth service corps members.
The college was opened on September 23, 1974, by the then Governor of Lagos state, Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson.
GCI achieved so much within its first 5 years and was among the 5 colleges Chief Adeniran Ogunsanya awarded scholarships to when he was the Commissioner for education in 1975.
Membership of Government College Ikorodu old student association is open to all who attended the college for at least one academic year : all male and female students that have attended the school since the inception in 1974. [(www.gciikorodu.com)]
Grant oh lord
that this school maybe a good school
not in name only,
but in deed and in truth
for the sake of goodness which banner we carry,
Amen.
God of the universe
be our guide
student of government college Ikorodu.
In our search for knowledge,
help us to be strong and hard working
though the part to excellence is rough,
we shall attain our goals through determination.
Discipline is our watch word
in quest for excellence
God help our parents and help our teachers too.
