In April 1999, the Nigerian Sector Commission for Education of the De La Salle Brothers, recommended that “in light of the present situation, be it resolved that a secondary school for boys be established on the property known as De La Salle Centre, Ondo.”
On October 2, 1999, the Sector Council of Nigeria unanimously approved the motion. In June of 2003, the establishment of the school was approved by the Superior General and the General Council of the Brothers in Rome.
Later the same year, La Salle College opened with the late Brother Peter Anifaloba as principal. Brother Damian Ikor is the current principal.
