Titcombe College is a secondary school in Egbe, Kogi State, Nigeria.[1] Founded by missionaries of the Sudan Interior Mission in 1951, the school has produced notable Nigerians including the former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Samuel Afolayan [2] and the late Professor Pius Adesamni.[3] Alumni[4] association of the college has commissioned several projects on the campus.[5]
The college has produced students who are among notable Nigerians today. Few of them include the former Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Samuel Afolayan (retd.),[2] Professor of Management Science at the University of Ibadan Solomon Adebola,[8] the Chairman of the Central Planning Committee (CPC) Tunji Arosanyin[7] and the late social commentator and university lecturer Pius Adesamni, a Professor of Literature and African studies at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada and the director of the University's Institute of African Studies.[9] Adesamni died along with 156 others, on the ill-fated Ethiopian Airlines jet that crashed March 2019.[10] With a robust alumni, several sets of Titcombe College have been giving back to the college.[4]
