The Université de Dosso (UDO), also known as Université de Dosso, is a public university located in Dosso, Niger.
History
[edit]To alleviate the strain on existing Nigerien universities, on April 10, 2014, the Council of Ministers approved the creation of four new universities: Agadez, Diffa, Dosso, and Tillabéri.[1] This decision was unanimously supported by the deputies of the National Assembly.[2] The university was established by Law No. 2014-40 on August 19, 2014.[3]
Specialization
[edit]The university specializes in information and communication technology (ICT)[4] and is set to host a "Technological Hub for the Development of the Digital Economy" (TECHNODEN)[2] to foster digital economy development in Niger.[5]
Organization and programs
[edit]Ultimately, the university will consist of three components: the university itself, an Institute of Technology (IUT), and a technopole.[5] It currently offers two undergraduate degrees: one in Networks and Telecommunications, and another in Multimedia and Internet Professions.[6]
