Governors of the 19 Northern states, the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammad Sa'ad Abubakar, 12 emirs and members of the National Assembly are among dignitaries expected in Katsina for the investiture of Kano-based philanthropist and business tycoon Alhaji Aminu Dantata, as the first Chancellor of Katsina State University.
Daily Trust learnt that already, visitors have started experiencing acute shortage of hotel rooms as almost all the hotels have been booked for guests expected for the event. The ceremony is slated for Saturday at the convocation grounds of the university under the chairmanship of the Sultan.

The Director General of the Katsina Islamic Foundation, proprietors of the university, Dr. Sani Lugga in an interview with Daily Trust yesterday, said all arrangements for a hitch-free ceremony have been completed.

Dr. Lugga who doubles as Wazirin Katsina, explained that the investiture of Dantata as the first Vice Chancellor of the university would be among other events that will promote the integrity of the state.

He urged people of the state to collaborate with the Foundation to ensure that guests are accorded a befitting reception in line with the state's symbol as the centre of hospitality.
