OASIS LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
Who We Are
Oasis Leadership Academy (OLA) is a premier leadership development initiative of the Golden Oasis Spring Foundation, established with a vision to shape Africa’s future through the intentional cultivation of values-driven, visionary, and transformational leaders.
We are committed to raising a new generation of leaders who are not only credible and ethically grounded but also deeply accountable in their service to society. Our strategic focus lies in equipping leaders who can drive sustainable economic growth, champion human capital development, and respond to the continent’s pressing leadership challenges with wisdom, integrity, and innovation. As a dynamic and future-focused training hub, Oasis Leadership Academy blends cultural and societal values with cutting-edge leadership principles to develop leaders across government, corporate, and social sectors. Our programs are designed to inspire strategic thinking, foster servant leadership, and empower participants to lead with purpose in a rapidly changing world.
Our Mission
To deliver high-impact, specialised leadership training programs that equip individuals to lead with excellence in the government, business, and social sectors. We believe that Africa’s progress hinges on intentional, values-based leadership, and we are dedicated to building leaders who are visionary, principled, and capable of driving lasting change.
At Golden Oasis Spring Foundation, we respond to the challenges of leadership in Africa through two major initiatives. 1. Oasis Leadership Academy and 2. Leadership Roundtable.
Leadership Roundtable is a live-streamed anchor-led online programme where facilitators are engaged in a robust discussion on leadership issues.
Our Flagship Training Programs
- Intentional Leadership in Nation Building
This flagship program is tailored for leaders in the public and civic sectors—including policymakers, government officials, civil servants, and political influencers—who are committed to advancing effective and ethical governance across Africa.
The Intentional Leadership in Nation Building program focuses on cultivating visionary leadership that is rooted in integrity, strategic foresight, and a deep sense of national responsibility. Participants are equipped with practical tools for policy formulation, institutional strengthening, and stakeholder engagement, alongside a robust ethical framework that promotes transparency, accountability, and public trust.
Key areas of focus include:
Principles of transformational governance and public service ethics.
Strategic policy development and implementation.
Leadership for inclusive economic growth and social development.
Managing change and institutional reform.
Building systems that foster integrity and sustainable development.
This program empowers leaders to go beyond routine administration—to become nation builders who inspire hope, shape policy, and drive systemic change for the advancement of their nations and the continent at large.
2. Intentional Leadership in Faith-Based Organisations
This program is crafted specifically for pastors, ministry leaders, denominational executives, and heads of faith-based organisations who are called to lead with spiritual depth, integrity, and strategic direction.
Intentional Leadership in Faith-Based Organisations equips participants to lead ministries and Christian organisations with clarity of vision, purpose-driven strategies, and systems that reflect both biblical values and leadership excellence. It addresses the
growing need for leaders who can inspire transformation within the Church and in the broader society while maintaining spiritual authenticity and ethical accountability.
Key focus areas include:
Developing and aligning vision, mission, and purpose statements.
Building spiritually healthy leadership teams and organisational cultures.
Governance, accountability, and financial stewardship in ministry.
Navigating transitions and succession in faith-based leadership.
Leveraging influence for societal impact beyond the pulpit.
This program empowers Christian leaders to become intentional shepherds and institutional builders, equipped to guide their organisations into sustained spiritual and social relevance.
3. Women in Leadership
Designed to empower women across diverse sectors, this program provides aspiring and established female leaders with the confidence, competence, and community needed to excel in leadership roles at all levels of society.
Women in Leadership is grounded in the belief that empowered women are critical to Africa’s progress. The program addresses the unique challenges women face in leadership while equipping them with strategic tools, mentorship, and opportunities for personal and professional growth. Participants are encouraged to embrace their identity, lead with authenticity, and break barriers with courage and excellence.
Key components include:
Leadership identity, confidence building, and personal development.
Gender dynamics and overcoming systemic barriers in leadership.
Communication, negotiation, and executive presence.
Mentorship and leadership succession for women.
Leading with purpose across public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
This program fosters a generation of women who lead boldly, influence widely and inspire transformation in their homes, workplace and nations.
We want to stimulate the passion for quality leadership in young Africans, encourage active participation in the leadership process of African nations, and also offer a platform where young and passionate Africans can be mentored and guided in their leadership journey as they take active roles in leadership in the different sectors of the society. Our focus is not only on the public (government) sector but also the private (business) sector and the nonprofit (social) sector as well.
Mirage is a work of fiction that captures the unique and peculiar challenges of the African continent as it relates to corruption, nepotism, tribal and ethnic sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome, greed, and other vices working against the development and prosperity of Africa and its people. There seems to be no end to the sugar-coated developmental promises from politicians, as every election campaign is full of the same promises every election year. One cannot help but keep wondering, if societal development in a democracy is rocket science, as the poverty and backwardness of the African continent seem to be defying every proven solution that has worked in other continents. The fact that financial aid, pumped into Africa from development partners over the years has failed to achieve any meaningful result in the poverty alleviation drive has left many wondering what is wrong with Africa.
Mirage is the story of Kabuki, a land rich in natural resources, blessed with fertile land with lots of financial and material wealth. Going by every standard of measurement, Kabuki can be classified as a rich country, but in the typical fashion of most African countries, the land is riddled with bribery and corruption, nepotism, greed, oligarchy, tribal sentiment, political sit-tight syndrome, and others. Though Kabuki is rich, yet, her people wallow in extreme poverty. The book is one of the resources at Oasis Leadership Academy.
