The idea for the first University was actually  borne by a group of KT elites, spearheaded by Dr. Sani Lugga. The university was built with financial assistance from some Islamic countries. However, the NUC refused to accredit/acknowkedge the univesity, unless the name is changed from Islamic University. It is now called Katsina University. After it was built, Dr. Sani Lugga and Co. approached the state govt. to help in funding the running of the uni. The state governor, then Umaru 'Yaradua, asked for complete handover of the uni to the state govt. as a condition for govt to fund the school. Dr. Sani Lugga refused, saying they see no reason why they should just hand over after all they've done. Afterall the uni was built with financial assistance from foreigners, for the benefit of the ppl of the state, so why should Katsina State govt feel they can't assist, unless they have complete and total control/ownership? The two parties failed to compromise (ka san 'yaradua da taurin kai). So in annoyance and to "show them", the state govt hurriedly set up its own university, called University of Katsina. It is being built along Dutsin Ma road.

So, that's the story of the two ;D
