The making of an icon

Description

This biography has carefully documented some of the achievements of Rev. William Benjamin Euba, the proprietor of Eko Boys’ High School, the first private, non-denominational secondary school in Nigeria.

With no doubt, Rev. Euba was an extraordinary African of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The longest-serving principal in the methodist Boys’ High School, Lagos, Rev. Euba, with a chequered training and service within the Methodist connexion, was a church minister and school teacher for several decades.

His courage, empathy, and kindness shine brightly throughout this comprehensive account of his life, which was a life of service to others.
