We don’t just give students an education and experiences that set them up for success in a career. We help them succeed in their career—to discover a field they’re passionate about and dare to lead it.
The African Development University (ADU) is an innovative, not-for-profit university whose mission is to prepare the most talented young people in Niger and Africa to design and drive the development of their nations as effective ethical leaders in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors. A.D.U. is the first non-profit university located in Niamey, Niger, and the first institution to offer a world-class education to students from the Sahel region….
We warmly welcome new members into the ILIMI community each year, and we work closely with them to develop them into Ethical leaders and community change agents. 1000 people are not worth 1 young leader. Study and develop through a remarkable educational experience and community service. Any young person should have the fantastic and distinctive experience of attending A.D.U.
A.D.U. is based on the premise that almost all the obstacles to Niger’s development can be associated with a lack of leadership. That’s why our students prepare for global leadership through bilingual learning and academic instruction. Our multidisciplinary program: modeled on the best learning materials at Harvard, combines the liberal arts with Management, Law and Technology.
A.D.U. offers Scholarship for talented student who are experiencing economic and social hardship so that they will be able to achieve their goals and impact their community. The Scholarships available are: Corporate Scholarship Program; Presidential Scholarship Program and the A.D.U Financial Aid Program.
