Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>UNIVERSITY of Dodoma (UDOM) is liaising with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism over a plan to bring a zoo to the national capital, Dodoma, it has been disclosed.<\/p>\n

UDOM Vice-Chancellor Prof Faustine Bee, speaking at the launch of the university\u2019s Alumni Association’s first general meeting, said the plan is a comprehensive strategy that seeks to improve efficiency and performance in academics, research and innovation.<\/p>\n

“A team of technocrats from the university have so far developed the proposal. \u201cWe\u2019ll be seeking external opinion and inform the ministry for further action,” he said.<\/p>\n

UDOM offers a degree programme in tourism. It is equally planning to start providing degrees on Wildlife Management in which it believes establishing a zoo will provide a ground of practice for students.<\/p>\n

Prof Bee said UDOM has been implementing a series of reforms to transform the institution to a world-class centre of excellence.<\/p>\n

Part of the transformation included removing 15 schools and 32 departments as well as establishing three new schools.<\/p>\n

The Vice-Chancellor invited the alumni to help attain such goals by becoming good ambassadors to local and international communities.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment in 2007, UDOM structures have been seating on a 6,000-hectare site at the Chimwaga area, 8 kms east of the central business district.<\/p>\n

UDOM authorities believe there is enough land to affix a zoo to help conserve the area.<\/p>\n

“Apparently, there is no such relaxation place in Dodoma and this will offer a better leisure spot for the university community and residents,” Prof Bee said.<\/p>\n

UDOM Alumni Association interim chairman Dr Paul Loisulie said a total of 1,000 graduates had registered to be part of the association.<\/p>\n

Since its establishment, the university lacked a linking agency between graduates and the university. “This association will fill such gap and help improve cooperation and collaboration,” he said.<\/p>\n

A total of 50,000 students have so far graduated at the university since 2007.<\/p>\n

An additional of 8,206 students will receive degrees, diplomas and certificates on Thursday (December 17,2020).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
