Usman & Jamila Imogie
Proprietors
The LORD's International School MANILA has made good progress in spite of the many difficulties it has had to face. The LORD's International School"MANILA" Bukuru came to existence as a result of the wish of Mrs Elizabeth Jamila Imogie to start a model nursery and primary school that would be "dedicated" to the grooming of "young children" even as the missionaries of old did in Nigeria, she having benefitted from attending such schools from the primary to the secondary school levels.
The school started under the name MANILA International School, Bukuru (The name Manila was derived from the last three letters of Usman and Jamila). After the incorporation of Manila Enterprises as a business outfit in November, 1993, the school (an arm of this outfit) started in January, 1994. With three of Mrs. Imogie’s children and their rented apartment as school building (Km 12 Yakubu Gowon Way on the Bukuru Express Way, near the Bukuru Low Cost Bridge), the school took off formally.
