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 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 now an independent school owned and operated as a social enterprise by the Fisher Trust.
