Nigeria, Jan. 15 -- Ondo Boys' High School, reputed as Nigeria's first Community High School, turned 100 years on January 13.

As part of events marking the centenary, the school will host a book presentation on January 26, organisers said.

The book is titled 'One Century of Ondo Boys' High School: The History of Nigeria's First Community High School'.

It is co-authored by three academic alumni of the school: Ropo Sekoni, Festus Adesanoye, and Orobola Fasehun.

The school was founded on January 13, 1919, by Canon Moses Craig Akinpelumi Adeyemi, one of the earliest Ondo town citizens to have travelled overseas.

Reuben Fasoranti was the first proprietor of the school. He is an alumnus of the school and taught there in the late 1940s.
