Umar Suleiman College of Education, Gashua (USCOEGA) is a state-owned tertiary institution located in Gashua, Yobe State, Nigeria. It was established in 1986 as the Advanced Teacher’s College, Gashua, and later renamed in honor of Umar Suleiman.
The history of the College can be traced back to the period of Borno State. It was established as the Advanced Teacher’s College, Gashua by Edict No. 11 of 1988 deemed to have come into operation on 19th February, 1986. Prior to this, later date, the Borno College of Education, Maiduguri was the main NCE awarding institution in the State.
The decision of the then Borno State Government under the leadership of Lt. Col. Abdulmimini Aminu to approve the establishment of three more Colleges at Gashua, Biu and Bama was therefore based on the need to expand enrolment to meet the large teacher requirement in post-primary schools in the State.
