ABDUL-GUSAU POLYTECHNIC ,TALATA MATARA.
Abdu Gusau Polytechnic, Talata Mafara has a long standing history. Its origin dates back to the emergence of staff training centre, Sokoto in 1956 which was eventually renamed Staff Development Centre, Sokoto in 1972.
It is the staff development centre that was later amalgamated with community development institute, Birnin Kebbi and home economics centre, Gusau,to constitute an arm called Administration Sokoto which formed part of the then Polytechnic of Sokoto State, Birnin Kebbi in 1980.
The geographical division in the country in 1991 saw the creation of the Kebbi State from the former Sokoto State. With the former Sokoto State Polytechnic leadership of Col. Bashir Salihi Magashi thought it desirable to establish its own polytechnic at Talata Mafara to take advantage of the existing structure meant for a Technical College already there.Still the College of Administration Farafaru remained an integral part of the proposed Polytechnic and served as the temporary site.
The Government of Sokoto State renamed the institution as Abdu Gusau Polytechnic after the late Engineer who died in November 1994. In October 1996 the Federal Government created Zamfara State out of the then Sokoto State, a situation necessitated the hurried relocation of the institution to its partially completed permanent site as it was possible legally for Zamfara State to continue to sustain an institution belonging to it but located within Sokoto State.
