On 28th October, 1986, the College was officially opened by the then Governor Lt. Col. Abdulmumini Aminu and 2 year later, it was renamed College of Education, Gashua . Following the request from the Ministry of Education for the affiliation of the College to the University of Maiduguri, approval was given for affiliation on academic matters on January, 1989.By that affiliation, the University took over the responsibility of assisting the College to develop academic programmes, moderating examination conducted by her and validating all certificates issued as well. In that same year of affiliation, the first batch of 34 graduands passed out. In retrospect, the decision to establish the college was a sound one and by the virtue of jurisdiction, the College was handed over to the Yobe State Government when Yobe State was carved out of the then Borno State in 1991. The process of de-affiliation of the College from the Univeristy of Maiduguri which started during the 1991/1992 session was completed at the end of the 1992/93 session. This is due to the fact that Decree No.3 of 1989 which sets up the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE) vests in the Commission the responsibility of laying down minimum standards for all programmes of teacher education and accreditation of certificates and other awards. In order to acknowledge and immortalize the immense effort of the immediate past Emir of Bade Alhaji Umar Suleiman, the College’s name was changed in 2008 to Umar Suleiman College of Education.
