The Old Boys

Global Network of Distinguished & Committed Alumni

Since its founding in 1929, GCU has provided an elite education to thousands of boys from Nigeria and Southern Cameroons.

Coming to GCU for many an old boy 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 , sciences, social sciences, education, politics and even 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 school with the highest number of recipients of the NNOM.
