George and Duke Nursery/ Elementary School
Felele Ibadan is a private day and boarding
school opened on the 12th of
September, 1994, with just twenty seven (27)
pupils on roll and eight (8) teachers in a two
flat, roofed with corrugated iron along Odukoya
Street of Felele Straight in Ibadan.
In September, 1995, there was need for expansion
which necessitated the building of a prefab at
the back of the house. The school remained there
for quite a while before the house was decked
and raised. By September, 1996 there were more
classes ranging from the Nursery to class six.
The school started as George and Duke Nursery/
Elementary School under the leadership of Dr.
Niran Olurin and Mrs.Ranti Olurin, who felt
there was a great need for a primary institution
with a difference to cater for both foreigners
and Nigerians in various surroundings of Ibadan
and more so Felele/ Chanllege areas.
Dr. Niran Olurin is a seasoned educationist and
a disciplinary who studied and earn M.Sc.in
Business Management, Ph.D in Business Education
and a Post Graduate Diploma in Management
Information System from Indiana State
University, USA.

further enriched immensely by the contribution
of the former and present Head teachers,
