About Us

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE

Federal Government Girls College, Omu-Aran is situated on the former site of Government Secondary School, Omu-Aran, along Omu-Aran/ IlofaRoad. The College was conceived out of the desire to bring together young girls from diverse cultural, tribal and linguistic background from different parts of Nigeria to learn under the same environment with a view to fostering national unity among them at the impressionable stage of their lives.

Its establishment is in keeping in line with the Federal Government policy of having at least two Federal Government Colleges otherwise known as Unity Colleges in each State of the Federation including Abuja to serve as Model Schools for others in their pursuits of academic moral and social excellence. Before 1991, the old Kwara State had two Federal unity College: One in New Bussa and another one in Ilorin in 1991, when Kogi State was created, there was boundary adjustment between Kwara State and neighboring states. 

This consequently led to the carving out of New Bussa to Niger State and forfeiture of Federal Government Girls’ College, New-Bussa to Niger State. As a result of this, Federal Government Girls’ College, Omu-Aran, was founded on the 13th May 1995 to serve as the second Federal Unity College in Kwara State. 

Federal Government Girls’ College, Omu-Aran did not have the privilege of having modern infrastructure at the time of its establishment because it inherited old structures of Government Secondary School, Omu-Aran. However, with the assistance of Federal Ministry of Education, some of the initial challenges were overcome. 

Federal Government Girls’ College, Omu-Aran, within the twenty-one years of her establishment has been contributing immensely to the development of girls education in Nigeria. The college has graduated young ladies who professionals are occupying esteemed positions in various fields of human endeavor and contributing to national development.



LOCATION:

The School is situated in Omu-Aran, the Headquarter of Irepodun L.G.A Kwara State. It is along Omu-Aran, Ilofa express road and is accessible from three different routes: through Ilorin, Ekiti State and Kogi State.
