Lagos — We are celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the establishment of a most distinguish and credible secondary school - Hussey College Warri - by two outstanding Itsekiri nationalists, Chief O. N Rewane and Begho, both of blessed memory. May their souls rest in peace, in Jesus Name. Amen.
Hussey College Warri came on board two years after the end of the World War II and in the midst of nationalist agitation for Nigeria's political independence. It was a rare breed because it was the product of private entrepreneurship. The motive of the founding fathers was "to redress the vacuum situation following the relocation of Warri College, the then Government Secondary School in the city to Ughelli as Government College, Ughelli". As it turned out, Hussey College Warri, soon became cosmopolitan with students' intake across the length and breadth of southern Nigeria. It was a college of both academic and athletic excellence and the breeding ground of future leaders in various department of national life.
