In 1965, Nigeria lost an illustrious son who led the way in visionary thinking. The idea for the free primary education program in Nigeria today has been attributed to him. Having already started a free primary educational school in his small hometown of Ondo in Ondo State, Chief Awosika proposed the idea to the party and the party implemented the program in the West. When the Nigerian National Democratic Party saw how successful the program was in the west, they too embraced the idea in the East. Eventually, the whole country embraced what today is known as the Universal Primary Education. Many Nigerians, including notable ones would not have had an education were it not for the visionary idea of Chief Festus Olawoyin Awosika. Olawoyin Awosika School of Innovative Studies is an attempt to honour this servant of the nation and to continue his legacy of accessibility and education for all. The ultimate goal is to make OASIS a global educational institution patterned after Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and University of Wisconsin-Stout.
