Loyola Jesuit College is located on a 28.5-hectare (70-acre) site in the village of Gidan Mangoro. Funds to construct the school were provided by the New York province of the Society of Jesus and the United States Agency for International Development, Office of American Schools and Hospitals Abroad.[3] The ceremonial laying of foundation stone took place on April 1, 1995 and was presided over by the Honorable Walter Carrington, the then US Ambassador to Nigeria. He described the site as a "field of dreams".[4] The school opened with 101 students on October 2, 1996.[3]
