Motto: A Key to Academic Success

Brief Histroy: Kaduna Polytechnic has grown from a humble beginning in 1956 when it started as “Kaduna Technical Institute” to what is today the largest Polytechnic in Africa South of the Sahara in terms of staff, student population and physical infrastructure. It is the second oldest technological institution in Nigeria, the oldest being Yaba College of Technology which was established in 1948. Kaduna Polytechnic is also the second largest tertiary institution in Nigeria after Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. That suggested the upgrading of Yaba College of Technology to an institute and proposed the establishment of technical institutes in Kaduna and Enugu.
