Loyola Jesuit College
Reason For Loving Place
College facilities include four large classroom and laboratory buildings, three dormitories accommodating 300 boys, one dormitory accommodating 300 girls, a chapel, dining hall, multi-purpose "Memorial" hall, Jesuit residence, and duplex bungalows for all the lay staff. The 70.4-acre (285,000 m2) campus is fenced to secure the safety of the students. Upon entering the LJC campus via the front gates, a statue of St. Ignatius of Loyola is seen presenting his knightly sword to the Lord, to become a Cabellero de Cristo, "Knight for Christ."
Reason To Recommend Place
Although it welcomes boys and girls of all faiths, it is one of the most academically selective secondary schools in Nigeria as evidenced in 2010 when 5000 wrote the school entrance exam and it accepted 100, or 2% of its applicants. The school suffered a major tragedy when 60 students lost their lives in the 2005 crash of Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145\. A multipurpose hall named Memorial Hall was built to commemorate these students.
