Umuahians Take the Lead(Chinua Achebe is keynote speaker) |
 | | In 1929, Government College Umuahia, was one of the three secondary schools founded by the British colonial government around the traditions of British Public Schools at Eton, Harrow and Winchester. |
 | | In one generation, Umuahia, as this school is popularly known produced such men in the arts as the renowned novelists Chinua Achebe, Chukwuemeka Ike, Elechi Amadi, INC Aniebo, Ken Saro-Wiwa, and poets like Christopher Okigbo, and Gabriel Okara. |
 | | Umuahia was the pride of West Africa when people like I.D. Erekosima would blast mathematics at Yaba Higher College and would be the best student in the London matriculation examinations of the British empire, and Donald Ekong, Martin Nwaji, and Chris Oyeka to name a few would graduate in first class honours in chemistry. |
