Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata Mafara

Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, traces its origin to the Staff Training Centre, Sokoto (1956), later the Staff Development Centre (1972), which merged into the College of Administration Sokoto under the Sokoto State polytechnic in 1980. After Kebbi State was created in 1991, Sokoto State decided to set up its own polytechnic at Talata Mafara; the establishing bill was signed in 1992.

In 1995 the Sokoto State Government renamed it Abdu Gusau Polytechnic after the late Engr. Abdu Gusau, the first engineer from the former Sokoto State. After Zamfara State was created in 1996 the institution relocated to its permanent site at Talata Mafara and began the 1996/1997 session there in 1997; it is a Zamfara State polytechnic located along the Sokoto-Zamfara Road.
