In the midst of this global conversation and discernment by the members of the Society of Jesus, an ongoing initiative by the Jesuits to establish a new school in the South East of Nigeria was generously taken up and brought to life by Dr. Ernest Nnaemeka Azudialu-Obiejesi. Gonzaga Jesuit College, Okija, Anambra State, is the result of the magnanimous benefaction of Dr. Ernest & Barr. Mrs. Nnenna Azudialu-Obiejesi. This act of generosity was done for the good of humanity and for the greater glory of God. The journey began when the Jesuit team, accompanied by Engr. Paul Erinne and Dr. Ifeanyi Uchendu approached Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi with the proposal regarding the establishment of a Jesuit school in Okija. Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi accepted the proposal and offered to build the entire school for the Jesuits. The Jesuit Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa Abascal S.J., was glad to give his permission and for construction to begin in earnest. Thus Gonzaga Jesuit College Okija was born
