[1] In 1990, it became evident that the Nigerian Navy's only secondary school in Ojo was becoming too crowded to accommodate the increasing number of children of personnel seeking admission.

The then Governor of Ogun State, Captain Mohammed Lawal, suggested considering the location of the defunct St Leo's Teachers' Training College at Ibara Abeokuta, situated on a hilly Onikolobo site.

He assumed his duties and relocated to the school compound along with his key staff officers.

The Governor of Oyo State, Colonel Abdulkareem Adisa, pledged to construct a Guard House for the school, while the Ogun State Government promised to refurbish three vehicles for the school's use and renovate its administrative block.

Navy Captain Olukoya, the Governor of Ondo State, pledged to donate a staff car for the commandant and provide a bus for the students.
