History
Loyola Jesuit College opened its gates on October 2, 1996. Funds to construct the school were provided by the Society of Jesus and many benefactors in the United States. The first principal of the school was Jim Kuntz, S.J. He supervised the building of the enormous school facility and served as principal for three years. He was then succeeded by O.T. Jonah, S.J. who served for 4 years in that office. Patrick Ryan, S.J. served as president of the institution during Jonah's term and for two years after. Following Jonah's term, Marc Roselli, S.J. took over as principal for the next three years. During his term, Peter Schineller, S.J assumed the position of president. The next president and principal was John-Okoria Ibhakewanlan (S.J.). On July 17, 2011, during the tenth graduation ceremony, Fr. Ugo Nweke was announced as the next Principal, and Fr.
