The polytechnic was established in 1992 after the former Governor of Sokoto State, Yahaya Abdulkarim signed a bill that established the 'Talata Mafara Polythecnic'.[1] The Sokoto state government renamed the Polytechnic to 'Abdu Gusau Polytechnic' in February, 1995. This was done in honor of the late Engineer Abdu Gusau who died in November, 1994, in recognition of his contribution to the development of the State.[2] Zamfara state of Nigeria was created by a Federal decree in 1996,[3][4] and this necessitated the relocation of the polytechnic to a new permanent site in Talata Mafara. The Sokoto state government was no longer responsible for it, and it wasn't legally possible to have an institution belonging to Zamfara state located in Sokoto.
Present dayedit
Abdu Gusau Polytechnic is now a fully developed institution offering programmes in all fields of human endeavour.This can be testified to when its numerous alumni from all parts of the country are considered. It is now set to meet up with the challenges of the universal technological advancements.[5] As of 2020[update] the Polytechnic has 19 departments, and 2524 students,[6] offering programmes in several fields of study.[1] The institution currently offers ND's (National Diploma)[citation needed] in courses such as; mass communication, banking & finance, civil law, building engineering, electrical engineering and HND's (Higher National Diploma) in office technology management, business, bio chemistry, computer science and statistics.[7]
