Aggrey Memorial Secondary School is a school in Arochukwu, Nigeria.[1]

History[]

Founded in 1931, Aggrey Memorial Secondary School is a co-educational secondary school. The school was founded by the Nigerian educator, statesman, activist and politician Dr Alvan Azinna Ikoku.[2]

Unlike many founders who would name institutions after themselves, Dr Ikoku named the institution after James Emman Kwegyir Aggrey (October 18, 1875 – July 30, 1927) who was a missionary and teacher from Ghana.[3]
