The spider emblem was originally the crest of the staff development centre before it become part of kadpoly. when kadpoly was formed in 1968 the academic board spent time in considering possible crest and found all the proposal 2 complicated in design. it was then suggested that it seemed a pity to drop the SDC device which has already become well known throughout Nigeria, so it was finally decided to keep the spider as a symbol of tenacity and thoroughness in spite of all the difficulties which may occur as the crest for the entire polytechnic. in order to differentiate from the SDC emblem however, it was decided to surround d web with a polygon representing the many sided nature of the poly and also showing the equal support received from the six northern states. As for the reason why the spider was originally selected by the SDC hero is an extract from the editorial of SDC magazine and gizogizo” published in April 1967, written by the then director John .H. Smith(.who later became in charge of the civil service in the Solomon islands, south pacific, so you can see how far the web extend).the name arose out of a discussion held in Nasarawa rest house among administrative officers attending induction course. The director told them that he needed a device or symbol for the SDC. So after awhile the possibility of choosing an animal came up and eventually someone suggested a spider or in Hausa gizogizo. And most of the officers from different provinces and background were able to confirm that in their own folklore the spider represent a great many traditions that fitted in well with the concept of SDC. The little spider knows his job thoroughly, an amateur would never know much of the spider success. He preserves many times, his web got broken,he set about repairing it. The English saying goes thus: “if at first you don’t succeed, try again. This is derive from watching the spider, the web is exactly what we strive to do.
