Anambra State Chapter was founded in 1991 after the creation of the state through the efforts of Prof. Mercy Aku Anagbogu and Dr. Nkeiruka Bernadette Nwoye (the pioneer state coordinator), who laid a solid foundation for guidance and counselling services in particular in today's Anambra State secondary schools.
Prof. Mercy Aku Anagbogu became the first chairperson of the Anambra State Chapter of Counselling Association of Nigeria (CASSON).
