Having celebrated its Golden Jubilee anniversary, produced quality middle cadre education manpower and being affiliated to the prestigious Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria for several years, Governor Tambuwal proclaimed the College a varsity on December 28, 2020, and retained the name of the late former President Alhaji Shehu Usman Aliyu Shagari (GCFR).
The desideratum of elevating the institution’s status, the state executive council reasoned, was to “address the shortage of professional manpower in our Basic and Post-Basic education sectors especially with the planned establishment of Girls Science Junior and Secondary Schools in the state.”
Subsequently, the council “approved the upgrading of the Shehu Shagari College of Education (SSCOE), Shehu Shagari University of Education, Sokoto,” and the “constitution of an implementation committee for the university.”
