« This university is an important stage for the Senegal Emergent plan. There could not be emergence without knowledge and skill that transmit the required knowledge and the skills for quality human resources. Unidak 2 is the first milestone for a program of university infrastructures that plan, among others, the extension of the Gaston Berger University of Saint-Louis (North), Alioune Diop de Bambey (Center), the construction of the university of the Sine Saloum« , indicated Macky Sall.
