The Dexterity Progressive Organised Private Schools of Nigeria was initiated and founded by Prince Comrade Tadese Abayomi Fatai, an Education Officer, Inspector of Education, and educational reform advocate in Nigeria.
The association was conceived as a progressive intervention platform aimed at addressing critical gaps (lacunas) identified within the private education sector in Nigeria.
As part of the foundational process, the initiator invited selected private school proprietors and educational stakeholders to serve as founding members, thereby establishing a strong institutional base for the association.

This unique combination of public service and private educational entrepreneurship provided the practical insight necessary for the establishment of DEXTERITY as a progressive, reform-driven association.
A defining feature of DEXTERITY is its broad inclusiveness. The association accommodates schools of all linguistic orientations — English-medium, Arabic, French and bilingual institutions — reflecting Nigeria's diverse educational landscape.
The formation of DEXTERITY represents a strategic reform movement within Nigeria's private education sector, a grassroots-driven initiative with national relevance, and a bridge between policy and practice in educational administration.
Through the leadership of Prince Comrade Tadese Abayomi Fatai and the commitment of its founding members, the association continues to position itself as a progressive, inclusive, and reform-oriented body dedicated to advancing private education in Nigeria.
