The school, like other Federal Government Colleges in Nigeria, was created by the Nigerian government as one of the federally funded "Unity schools" to bring together students from regions across Nigeria. The school has facilities for both boarding and day students. Students range from Junior Secondary One (JS1) through Senior Secondary Three (SS3). Students must complete the Federal Common Entrance Exams in order to apply for attendance.
For those that lived on campus, both females and males lived in different hostels; subdivided into house colors, mainly red, green, purple, yellow and blue. While each house color consists of at least 4 room, each room is mainly occupied by those at the same class level or grade level with an addition person to manage the affairs of the room, this person would in most cases if not all, be an SS3 student. Among all federal government colleges created, FGC idoani had students who were very very outstanding and brilliant students who were exceptionally gifted as well as recording success in sport at the biannual fedcoll games.
The founding principal was Chief Omotade, who remained as principal until 1985 when he was transferred to Federal Government College Portharcourt. School Anthem: FGC Idoani, We greet thee, FGC Idoani, We love thee, To show academic excellence, this is our goal, The unity of our dear nation this is our pride, And due respect to our government this we shall keep, The beauty of good behaviour we shall uphold We greet thee dear principal, We hail thee all our staff, And we shall always keep in mind FGC Idoani, Yes this will be our source of pride FGC I doani
