School History

Eko Boys' High School is a school in Lagos, Nigeria, that was founded on 13 January 1913, by Rev. William Benjamin Euba, a Methodist Reverend, who desired to establish a secondary school that would provide educational opportunities for the less privilege citizens of Lagos. In addition, the Board decided to recruit suitable candidates, train them in higher institutions and then employ them as staff in the school in order to have a more stable teaching staff. Land in Lagos Island and the adjacent Mainland proved too expensive. To his eternal credit, the school’s Principal and the first Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Obadiah E. Roberts, graciously made an offer that reflected his deep commitment and selfless devotion to the school. His personal landed property at Masewele, Mushin was offered to the school and the offer was immediately accepted. The area declared by Ikeja Town Planning Authority as Eko Boys’ High School “School Zone” was 8 acres. 1.3 acres represented the gift from Obadiah E. Roberts and the Board of Trustees negotiated with different plot owners to acquire the rest. A building plan was drawn up in “E” shape representing the first letter of the name of the school’s founder, E-U-B-A (Euba). After 34 years of meritorious service to the school, the last 17 years of which were spent as Principal, in January 1948, Mr. Roberts retired. On May 7, 1948, Rev. J. Lucas, the then Archdeacon of Lagos, performed a brief religious ceremony at the new site in Mushin in the presence of stakeholders and well-wishers of the school. Six months later (November 1948), the foundation stone was laid at the very site where the school has since been located pending its relocation to Abijo, Lagos Island. On January 16,1950, the new building of Eko Boys’ High School, Mushin, opened with 300 students on the roll. At last, the school stood firmly on its own ground. The days of worrying over the expiration of leases and of inadequate space for students, difficulties that had threatened the existence of the school right from its inception, were over. Thanks to the school’s second Principal and benefactor, Obadiah Edward Roberts. Over the years, more buildings have been added to the initial ones to provide more classrooms for students, to provide offices and accommodation for staff, to accommodate the library, the science laboratory, an assembly hall and a large recreation area. “Great oaks from little acorns grow.” Today, Eko Boys’ High School is a prestigious institution with a large student population of over 2000 and a large teaching and administrative staff. Over the last 10 decades of its existence, thousands of students have passed through its doors and some of them have gone on to become some of our country’s finest lawyers, judges, clergy, doctors, pharmacists, military officers, scientists, teachers and professors, engineers, civil servants, farmers, traditional Chiefs and Obas, businessmen, administrators etc.
