Government College Umuahia (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.
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.
