Mai-Idris Alooma Polytechnic, Geidam.

Mai Idris Alooma Polytechnic (MIAPOLY) is a Yobe State Government-owned polytechnic located in Geidam, Yobe State, in north-eastern Nigeria. It was established in 2002 as Yobe State Polytechnic and was later renamed in honour of Mai Idris Alooma, the celebrated ruler of the Kanem-Bornu Empire.

The polytechnic offers Diploma, National Diploma and Higher National Diploma programmes, with a mission of practical technical education for the development of Yobe State and Nigeria. Teaching emphasises applied learning that connects concepts with practical tasks, an enterprise mindset that encourages students to turn skills and ideas into sustainable opportunities, and a community focus grounded in service, responsibility and regional development.

Academic work is organised in four schools:

• School of Engineering & Environmental Studies: applied engineering, design, construction and environmental problem-solving.
• School of Science: scientific reasoning, laboratory practice, computing and data-focused learning.
• School of Administrative & Business Studies: management, enterprise, accounting and the skills needed to run effective organisations.
• School of General Studies: communication, citizenship and foundational knowledge that supports every discipline.

The main campus is in Geidam. Applicants apply through an online admissions portal, and enrolled students and staff use separate student and staff portals for courses, results, payments, teaching and administration.
