The
school draws its name from the late CHIEF EDWARD WANZAGI WA
NYERERE, the elder brother of Mwalimu Nyerere,
foundind father of the Tanzanian Nation.He was the Chief of Butiama from 1942
until 1953, where he became the second Chief of Zanaki,
following a mini civil war in 1952. Chief Wanzagi
was a hardworking and development oriented ruler who
believed in education as a liberative tool for all
mankind. He initiated the construction of Butiama
Primary School on volunteery basis and himself helped
in the building.
At
Chief Wanzagi's funeral, Mwalimu Nyerere recalled,
with a deep sense of indebtness, that it was
Chief Wanzagi who persuaded their father to allow
Mwalimu Nyerere to go to school. He further stated
that, “If I had not gone to
school Tanzania would not have been the Tanzania that
we know of : I would not have been its President and
certainly Tanzania would have been shaped
differently.”

Located
3 Kilometers from Butiama village, the school was
conceived by Mwalimu J.K. Nyerere, who prior to his
death, had started to build it with the help of the
villagers of Buturu. At the time of his death the
buildings had reached lintel stage. He saw, read and
approved the underlying aims, objects and scope of
the overall project. This is probably the last
legacy Mwalimu left for his villagers.
