Abidjan is located to the east of Niamey city center and is included in the historic Kalley district. The neighboring districts are Boukoki I in the northwest, Boukoki IV in the north, Madina in the northeast, Poudrière in the east, Kalley Sud in the southeast, Kalley Est in the south and Banizoumbou in the southwest. The district is located in a plateau with a sand layer more than 2.5 meters deep, which allows better infiltration than in other parts of the city. The southern part of Abidjan is called the Balafon . To the east of the district is the Niamey Great Mosque , which can accommodate 10,000 people and was completed in 1989.

The standard scheme for street names in Abidjan is rue KL 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by KL for Kalley and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue KL 1 scheme is not used in the entire Kalley district, but only in Abidjan and in the north of Kalley Sud.

history

The district goes back to the French colonial era, which ended in 1960. In the 1960s, apartments were built here for the new class of those working in industry, trade and commerce. With the division of Niamey into five districts in 1979, Abidjan became part of the 3rd district, which in 1989 became part of the 4th district in the sub-municipality Niamey II, which in turn was dissolved in its previous form in 1996.

population

At the 2012 census, Abidjan had 8,613 inhabitants who lived in 1,637 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 7,701 in 1,190 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 9,632 in 1,577 households.

Infrastructure

There are several public primary schools in Abidjan. The oldest, the Ecole primaire de Balafon I , was founded in 1960. There is a health center in the district with a Center de Santé Intégré (CSI).
