The motto of the Federal University, Gashua is "Knowledge is Success" which, however, is written in Arabic script (المعرفة نجاح) translating as “Al-ilmu Falah”.

Throughout human history, the enduring key to individual and collective success is knowledge. While this motto acknowledges the universal value of education to society at large, it also particularly suggests the part historically played by the university’s host society in the development of Islamic Education in Nigeria and a large part of the West African sub-region.
