The Legacy of Brother Pius
Brother Pius Igharo Enoma was born in 1914 at Okokhuo village, near Ekiadolor in Ovia North–East Local Government Area of Edo State. His father died when he was 4 years old. Brother Pius attended St Mathew’s school Ogboka in 1926 and the Catholic school in 1929.
He did hard jobs to pay his school fees. On December 21st 1930, he was baptized and was confirmed on the 5th of May, 1931. He was trained as a catechist at Ibusa in 1932 and became a catechist, interpreter, and evangelical counselor.
He took vows of chastity, poverty and obedience on the 1st of April, 1934 at the age of 20. He formed the Joined Brother’s Society of Monks in 1937. He refused to marry dedicating himself to the service of God. He died on the 15th of October 1949. He was buried at Holy Cross Catholic Cathedral at mission road, Benin City.
Archbishop Emeritus Patrick Ebosele Ekpu said because he wanted to acknowledge his courageous, Christian and straight forward life, in October, 1979, thirty years after his death in October 1949, he immortalized him by naming a school set up by him after Late Brother Pius Enoma.
Today, Brother Pius Primary School stands as a beacon of hope and transformation — a place where pupils are nurtured academically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. Generations of children have passed through our classrooms, growing into confident learners, compassionate citizens, and shining examples of the values we uphold. Even as we embrace modern teaching methods, technology, and innovative programs, our foundation remains unchanged: to build children who love God, love learning, and love one another. With God’s grace and the support of our dedicated staff and parents, our story continues — and the best chapters are still ahead.
