The school

First Federal Road, since 1 October 1960

Edokpolo Grammar School was founded by the late Archbishop John Enoyogiere Edokpolo as a private, co-educational boarding school. Taken over by the Bendel State Government in 1972, it remains a Junior and Senior Secondary school in the heart of Benin City — and still carries the name its founder gave it.

Eighteen principals have led the school since Mr Dickson in 1960.
