Motto: A Key to Academic Success

Brief Histroy: Prior to the establishment of Kano State Polytechnic, there existed several independent post secondary institutions in the state. Most of those schools were attached to various ministries e.g technical college, school of cooperative training centre, staff development centre, and college of advance studies. In 1977, the Kano State Government set up an education review committee for the state under Mal. Aminu Kano. One of the outcome of the committee’s recommendation was to bring together these independent institution under one umbrella of administration and to be named Kano State Institute for higher education. The institutions brought together were renamed as follows: - School of preliminary studies (college of advance studies), school of management studies (Staff development centre), school of social and rural development (cooperative college), School of Technology (Technical college), Audu bako school of agriculture and Aminu School of Islamic Legal Studies. Other institutions for higher education were later created in the state. These include college of education, kano and college of education, Gumel.
