Prominent Old Boys

Barewa College, The Pride of the Nation

By far, the most unique aspect of the College has been the significant positive impact played by graduands in the social, cultural, economic, educational and political life of the country. Old Boys of Barewa College have rendered and continue to render meritorious service to the nation. Indeed, the first crop of Northern leaders in politics, administration, education, the security services were invariably drawn from Barewa. Prominent products of Barewa College played a major role in the various London Constitutional Conferences that culminated in Nigeria’s independence in 1960.
