Stephen Oluwole Awokoya
Stephen Oluwole Awokoya (1913–1985) was a former minister of education in the old Western Region of Nigeria. He was one of the leading architects of a nationalistic policy to promote formal schooling in Nigeria during the 1950s.〔Milton Krieger, 'Education and Development in Western Nigeria: The Legacy of S. O. Awokoya, 1952-1955', The International Journal of African Historical Studies > Vol. 20, No. 4 (1987)〕 He is credited for the creation of the universal primary education in Western Nigeria.
==Early life==
Awokoya attended Yaba College of Higher Education as one of the first batch of students of the school. After completing his studies at Yaba, he chose a career in teaching. He was a teacher at St Andrews, College, Oyo and also at Abeokuta Grammar School. After, the end of World War II, he became the pioneer principal of Molusi College, Ijebu-igbo. The College was a community sanctioned project but had opposition amongst officials in the education board. However, the community rallied around and opened the school in 1949. After Awokoya left to join the western Assembly, a new principal, Tai Solarin was chosen to lead the school. 〔A. Ade. Adeyinka, Local Community Efforts in the Development of Secondary Grammar School Education in the Western State of Nigeria, 1925-1955, The Journal of Negro Education. Vol. 45, No. 3 (Summer, 1976)〕
In between, he went to Great Britain and obtained a BSc at the University of London. While in London, he became enthralled with African students who saw education and nationalism as convulated ideas.
