LOCOBA, An alumni body of old students of Loyola College, Ibadan founded in 1954 with the aim of fostering brotherhood, networking, and giving back to our alma mater. What began as a small gathering of graduates has now evolved into a global network of over 10,000 alumni spanning across various industries and sectors.
For over four decades, LOCOBA has played a pivotal role in supporting Loyola College through scholarships, infrastructure development, mentorship programs, and various community outreach initiatives.
Our alumni have made significant contributions to society, serving as leaders in business, politics, academia, healthcare, and various other fields. We take pride in our diverse alumni base and their collective impact on the world.
