The Université de Dosso (UDO), also known as Université de Dosso, is a public university located in Dosso, Niger.
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]
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]
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]
