Unity schools are a great tool for Nations building. This fact should be obvious because the key objective for setting up the Unity Schools by the Gowon administration was to ensure national integration of the post war generation of Nigerians. Every Unity School was well funded, equipped and had students from all parts of the country. In addition, there were no tuition fees and travel to & fro school was paid for by the Federal Government. From sixties to seventies session, classes were held in temporary classroom blocks built on the college sites.
Federal Government College is a co-educational day and boarding, basic and post basic institution owned by the Federal Ministry of Education. The College over the years has been in the forefront of academic excellence within the geographical region and across Nigeria as a whole. An outstanding performance in various Educational, Social and Sporting activities cannot be farfetched. This is as a result of an enabling learning and sporting environment existing in the school, with the existence of modern features such as; a Standard library, School media/ICT laboratory, Multipurpose hall, Tuck shops, Standard Football pitch, Badminton, Volley ball court, and Lawn tennis facility. A good and secured housing plan in form of dormitories/hostels is in place to accommodate the boarding students, under the supervision of caring and experienced house masters and mistresses.
Our History is therefore incomplete without our past Principals and vice principals of the school up to date. Making our graduates continually being distinguished through the benchmark they make in different sectors and strata of the economy within and outside the country; including careers in business, engineering, law, medicine, arts, and the media.

OUR MOTTO
"Pass on the torch"
THE SCHOOL PRAYER
Oh Lord, by whose manifold Grace
All things work together for good
To them that love thee,
Stablish, we pray thee, the things
That thou hath wrought in us.
And make THIS school a field
Which the Lords hath blessed
That whatsoever things are true,
Pure, lovely and of good report,
May here forever flourish and abound.
Preserve in it an unblemished name.
Enlarge it with a wider usefulness,
And exalt it with the love
And reverence of all its members
As an instrument of thy Glory. Amen.
THE SCHOOL SONG
Pass on the torch still brightly gleaming,
Pass on the hopes the earnest dreaming,
To those who follow close at hand,
Pass on the thoughts, the skills, the learning
Pass on the secret in most yearning
That they may build where we have planned
Pass on the songs, pass on the laughter;
Pass on the joy that others after,
May tread more lightly on their way,
Pass on the faith, that naught can alter
Pass on the strength lest they should falter,
In hours of stress some future day.
Pass on firm determination,
To guide a later generation,
By gentle influence in the home,
Pass on the health, the youth vigour
Pass on the love that can transfigure
The darkest hours that yet may come.
‘Pass on the torch’, the cry inspiring,
Unites us here in hopes untiring,
In bonds no future years can sever
We forward press not backward turning,
That this our torch more brightly burning,
May yet pass on and on forever.
