Alvan Ikoku established the first indigenous private secondary school in Nigeria, Aggrey Memorial College, Arochukwu, present-day Abia State, in 1932.
At Aggrey, where he was principal for 39 years, Ikoku introduced Carpentry as a subject, which he called "the Education of the Hand."
Interestingly, students were able to make their own desks, chairs, and tables all by themselves.
