BRIEF HISTORY

Divine Love College, Kuchikau, is a school with a unique history. The story of the college began in 2005 when Rev. Mother Ifechukwu Udorah and a team of sisters in the Abuja region acquired the land where the college is currently located. The land was left fallow for about ten years before the desire to bring quality education to the people of Kuchikau in Nasarawa State was ignited. In 2013, the Daughters of Divine Love started developing the estate, which gave birth to the beautiful architectural piece we have today. 

The school commenced operation on September 2nd, 2015 at a colourful ceremony hosted by Mother Chilota Elochukwu and attended by Most Rev. Matthew Ishaya Audu the Catholic Bishop of Lafia Diocese. The pioneer principal of Divine Love College, Kuchikau, Rev. Sr. M. Chidummebi Oguejiofor had seven students and led a team of sisters, tutorial and non-tutorial staff who shared the same desire to bring quality education to the people in the hinter land of Kuchikau. The initial passion for excellence inspired them to take part in various competitions, where the students won numerous awards. At the close of the first term, the student population grew to 17 demonstrating the impact of the school in such a short time.

Since its inception, Divine Love College aspires to become the best school in the region. The college working with the Nigerian curriculum has designed programs to provide students with a well-rounded education that focuses on high academic standards, moral values, and character development. The school’s vision which is the Holistic formation of the Child is targeted on producing graduates who will be agents of positive change in their communities and beyond, hence the motto: Love and integrity and the philosophy: Each child is God’s unique masterpiece that must be nurtured to full potential.

The first set of the school sat for WASSCE and NECO examinations in 2021 and the results were exceptional. The school recorded a 100% pass rate. With zero tolerance for examination malpractice, this result is a testament to the desired commitment to high academic standards.

In addition to academics, Divine Love College is committed to providing students with a well-rounded education. The school has a range of co-curricular and extracurricular activities that are designed to help students develop their talents and skills. A veritable example is the first edition of the cultural day held in July 2018. It was filled with glamour and rich with the African/Nigerian culture in full display. Also the school in March 2022, organised a world-class inter-house sports event that is worthy of being mentioned here.

Divine Love College has come a long way since its inception. From humble beginnings, the school has grown into a reputable institution of learning that is making a positive impact in the region. The school’s commitment to high standards of learning, moral values and character development is what sets it apart from other institutions.
