The Edo College Old Boys Association (ECOBA) North America celebrated a historic milestone with its inaugural Reunion, Meet & Greet in Newark, New Jersey, bringing together alumni, families, friends, and well-wishers in celebration of heritage, connection, and unity. The landmark event, attended by ECOBA Worldwide President, Engr. Greg Ogbeifun, marked the establishment of a vibrant North American community dedicated to strengthening alumni connections, fostering professional networking, supporting Edo College, and preserving the enduring legacy of the alma mater.
ECOBA Worldwide President, Engr. Greg Ogbeifun, has called for greater unity, collaboration and measurable impact across the global Edo College Old Boys Association. Speaking at the 2026 ECOBA UK & Ireland Convention, he outlined the Association’s new 2026–2035 Strategic Plan and urged the diaspora to play a stronger role in mentoring, education and career opportunities for younger Ecobites.
ECOBA must now move from shared memory to shared responsibility, from admiration for Edo College’s past to disciplined investment in its future, and from scattered goodwill to collective impact that can be seen, measured and sustained. Our responsibility is not merely to preserve the memory of the Edo College we knew, but to help create an Edo College that future generations will be equally proud to remember. This requires us to work as One ECOBA—connecting our branches, class sets, expertise, resources and global networks around a common vision. Let us move from nostalgia to vision, from individual projects to coordinated transformation, from networks of friendship to networks of opportunities, and from brotherhood to measurable impact. Wherever we may live, we are strongest when we act as One ECOBA—united in brotherhood, disciplined in purpose and committed to impact.
This programme, an initiative in building futures for Parents and Students of Edo College, is conceived to equip them with the information that will guide in making informed decisions regarding admissions and possible scholarships in the United States of America, in the first instance.
From its first boarding house, Eweka House, established in 1937, Edo College's house system has evolved alongside the growth and development of the institution. Esigie, Ozolua, Speer, Akenzua, Nana and, later, Erediauwa Houses each represent a significant chapter in the College's history. Beyond providing accommodation, the houses became central to the College's traditions of sports, inter-house competition, camaraderie, leadership and school spirit. Their history reflects not only the physical expansion of Edo College but also the enduring bonds and traditions created by generations of students. This article traces the origins of each house and records the people, events and circumstances that shaped the house system of Edo College from 1937 to the present day.
