Before the establishment of Lisabi Grammar School,<ref>[https://ng-check.com/lisabi-commercial-institute/5253980.html Lisabi Grammar School]</ref> there were just two secondary schools in the whole of what was then regarded as Egba Division, comprising Abeokuta, Ifo Area, Egba Owode, and Egba Odeda. The condition for establishing a secondary school in the colonial era was structured or ~~oganised~~organized in such a way that only missionary organizations had the materials to establish such institutions. Earlier schools therefore, tended to be Religious in nature. [[Abeokuta Grammar School]] and [[Baptist Boys' High School]], which were established by the Anglican and Baptist [[Christian mission\|missions]] respectively, were examples local to Lisabi Grammar. The desire for education was increasing and the number of students seeking admission into secondary schools equally increased significantly; with too many of them being unable to gain admission into existing ones. == Conception == {{unreferenced\|section\|date=October 2024}} It was with the foregoing background that the then Lisabi Commercial College had its conception in 1942, when the founder, Mr. Julius Olusesan Popoola proposed the idea to his wife Chief (Mrs.) Victoria Adesola Popoola of establishing a school. This idea enjoyed the support of the wife as both of them were trained professional teachers. While this idea was being nurtured, ~~the~~his wife was a teacher at Sagamu Girls College while the husband was a highly rated French and Latin teacher at Abeokuta Grammar School, Abeokuta. From inception, the visions of the founding partners were clear. The husband identified the following goals for the school: # It must be a commercial school with the intention of producing students who will be academically good and equally able to use their hands in the areas of typing, shorthand, etc. # The products of the school must be able to be independent after graduating from the school; that is, be self-employed based on sound knowledge of typing, shorthand, and other commercial subjects.▼ ▲* The products of the school must be able to be independent after graduating from the school; that is, be self-employed based on sound knowledge of typing, shorthand, and other commercial subjects. While the above were the desires of the husband, the wife was nursing the hope of a school where she would be able to impact the students' vocational skills like [[Food and Nutrition\|food and nutrition]], [[home management]], [[Fine art\|fine arts]], [[tailoring]], and [[Handicraft\|hand-craft]]. The successful matching of both sets of objectives formed the initial propelling force that got the school started. Line 79 ⟶ 77: The growth and development became steady; thus expansion was imminent. A search for a permanent home of the school became inevitable under the circumstances. Providence smiled at the school and brought it to the present location that had become its permanent site since early 1963. In December 2022, the Lisabi Grammar School Old Students Association completed and inaugurated a multi-purpose lawn tennis court for the school as part of the events celebrating the 40th anniversary of their graduation. The association's president, Oloye Muhyi-deen Kazeem, explained that the project was chosen to empower students in various ~~ways—morally~~ways like morally, economically, physically, and mentally. He added that the project was divided into three phases: the first phase involved the reconstruction of the old, deteriorating lawn courts; the second phase included the installation of a wired fence around the courts; and the third phase saw the construction of a spectator seating area.<ref>{{Cite web \|last=Media \|first=Penpushing \|date=2022-12-09 \|title=Lisabi grammar school old students commission multi-purpose lawn tennis courts for school \|url=https://penpushing.com.ng/lisabi-grammar-school-old-students-commission-multi-purpose-lawn-tennis-courts-for-school/ \|access-date=2024-10-08 \|website=PENPUSHING \|language=en-US}}</ref> == Government intervention ==
