Welcome to Holy Family College

Holy Family College Oku-Abak, Abak L.G.A of Akwa Ibom State was established in 1942 by Bishop James Moynagh SPS, then Catholic Bishop of Calabar Diocese as the pioneer secondary school on Annang Soil.

The Principal's Message

Holy Family College, Oku Abak is a CATHOLIC MISSION SCHOOL. As such, the spiritual, academic and moral formation of our students are of paramount importance. While students will NEVER be forced to abandon their faith, all spiritual exercises on campus are done the CATHOLIC WAY and all students are expected to participate fully. By accepting admission into Holy Family College, parents should be aware that they are consenting to the rules and regulations guiding our school.

Our history

Here is a Brief History of Holy Family College, Oku Abak

1942

The non-inclusion of Catholic faithful among the beneficiaries of the Ibibio State Union Scholarships, coupled with the discriminatory admissions policies of schools on the mainland owned by different protestant Churches, gave birth to Holy Family College in 1942.
Under the mentorship of bishp James Moynagh, hofaco was created.

1967

The College celebrated her silver jubilee in 1967. To mark the celebration, a special edition of the college magazine, “The Link” was published.

1971- 2006

After the Nigerian civil war in 1970, the Nigerian government enacted a policy which empowered it to take over all schools established and run by various religious bodies. This period saw a serious deterioration in the physical development and moral standards in the college

1992

Our golden jubilee celebration happened this year. Even though government was still in charge of the management of the school, the church and Old Boys gathered to celebrate the event. The Lagos branch of the Old Boys association led by Mr. Moses Ekpo and Chief Don Etiebet provided major funding for the celebration.

2006

Holy family college was eventually handed back to the Catholic mission in 2006. This takeover saw to a massive infrastructural renaissance. Presently, HOFACO is fully owned, managed and administered by the Catholic Diocese of Ikot Ekpene, with Most Rev. Bishop Camillus R. Umoh as Proprietor.

2018

With the return of the college to the Catholic Diocese of Ikot Ekpene, The school management, Old students and other stakeholders gathered to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of HOFACO. The event which was celebrated between 12th to 13th December 2018, was celebrated with Pomp and pageantry.

Currently

The school currenlty headed by the principar, Rev. Fr. Dr. Columbus Archibong, and his amiable team who have restored the glory of the school to fullest height and made holy family not just a school, but a family worth sending your wards to.
