Federal Government Academy, Suleja

The Federal Government Academy Suleja, formerly known as Suleja Academy, began on 25 May 1990, during the tenure of Professor Jubril Aminu as the Minister of Education. The first students were in three "sets" - Junior Secondary (JS) 1, Junior Secondary (JS) 2 and Senior Secondary (SS) 1, totalling 180, as the "pioneers" of Suleja Academy. In May 1990, the living conditions were nothing like they were supposed to be; the school had taken over the site of a technical college and the ousted students had vandalised a lot of property before leaving. It would be six months before the students had any electricity and even longer before they had running water.
