In pursuance of its drive to transform the Education Sector, the Federal Government had, in 2010, approved the establishment of twelve (12) new Universities in the six geopolitical zones of the country. This was intended to open access to tertiary education for the teeming Nigerian youths. As part of the effective planning, the Federal Government set up an Implementation Committee comprising of the National Universities Commission (NUC), the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) and other relevant stakeholders. The Committee consulted widely with the respective State Governors and paid inspection visits to the proposed sites for the Universities before submitting its report on 15th November, 2010.

The implementation of the first phase of the proposal commenced in February, 2011, with the establishment of nine Universities, while the second phase involving the remaining three Universities including the one in Gashua commenced on 18th February, 2013 with the appointment of pioneer Vice-Chancellor (Professor Shehu Abdul Rahaman) and Registrar (Alhaji Sulu Dauda).

Federal University, Gashua is an institution of higher learning that seeks to be sensitive and responsive to immediate needs of the society and give every person the opportunity to acquire knowledge. It is also committed to excellence and integrity in the pursuit of knowledge within an environment that respects diversity and gender mainstreaming.

Federal University, Gashua is located in Gashua Local Government Area of Yobe State. Yobe State was carved out of the old Borno State and made a State on 27th August, 1991, by the Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida Military Administration. The literacy level of the State is too low compared to other states, especially those in the southern part of the country. Access to basic, secondary and tertiary education is impeded by a number of factors. It is this imperfection that motivated the Federal Government to establish a Federal University in Yobe State. The benefits derivable from the unfettered access to the University education by communities of a rural State like Yobe need to be emphasized. The foresight of the Federal Government in bringing tertiary education to doorstep of people of Yobe is indeed salutary.
