Hussaini Adamu Federal Polytechnic (HAFEDPOLY) is located in Kazaure, Jigawa State, Nigeria. It was founded in December 1991 as Jigawa State Polytechnic, with four colleges in different locations. These were the College of Engineering, Science and Technology at Kazaure, the College of Business and Management Studies at Dutse, the College of Islamic and Legal Studies at Ringim and the College of Agriculture at Hadejia. The Central Administration is also located at Kazaure. The purpose of the college is to "provide technical and practical oriented training to meet the manpower requirements for the Industrial and Economic development of Nigeria."[1]

The college was renamed Hussaini Adamu Polytechnic in 1998, in honor of the former emir of Kazaure, Alhaji Hussaini Adamu. It became a federal polytechnic in January 2007. In February 2009, the institution held its first convocation ceremony, giving out certificates and national diplomas to 6,024 students who had graduated between 1992 and 2008.[2]
