The Umar Suleiman College of Education was established in 1986. It was formerly known as Advanced Teacher's College, Gashua.[5][6]
Having been the first higher institution of learning in Yobe, Umar Suleiman College of Education was home to many great teachers in the state and Nigeria at large. Thus, the need to increase enrollment in order to meet the state's requirement for a large number of teachers in post-primary schools led the then-Borno State Government, led by Lt. Col. Abdulmimini Aminu, to approve the establishment of three more colleges at Gashua, Biu, and Bama. The following goals guided the establishment of the College:[7]
- To offer research, study, and training programs in the humanities, sciences, and languages that lead to the Nigeria Certificate in Education.
- To support NCE holder who will work as teachers in the state primary and post-primary schools.
- Providing academic and professional courses for the college's students as well as other students.
