Longford international school was established on January 24th 1962, by an astute  Chief Bandele.O .B Alonge as Nigeria People’s College and was later changed to Nigeria People’s High School in 1964. In between 1976 and 1979, the military government of Murtala/Obasanjo took over the school alongside all missionary schools and individually owned private school. In September 2001, the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration returned the schools to their respective owners. Then in 2006, the governing council of the school requested and was permitted to change the name of the school to Longford international school.
