The Audu Bako School of Agriculture in Dambatta, Kano State,[1] Nigeria, awards diplomas in technical and vocational subjects for middle-level manpower. It is named after Audu Bako, a former governor of the state.[2]

The college was established in 2002 and is owned and operated by Kano State. It is accredited to offer courses in agricultural and related technology, and a pre-ND course in Science and Technology.[3] In 2005 the college had over 400 students.[4] As of 2023, the college had over 300 staff, and offered over 500 courses and over 50 programmes.
