Life

Aliou Mahamidou belonged to the Hausa ethnic group . He attended schools in his hometown of Tahoua and the Lycée National in Niamey, where he completed his Baccalauréat in 1968 . From 1969 to 1974 he studied at the National University of Ivory Coast and at the University of Rouen in France . He graduated with a degree in economics . Mahamidou initially worked from 1974 to 1975 as head of the industrial section in the Nigerien Ministry of Development. After further training at the Institut International d'Administration Publique in Paris , he joined the Nigerien Ministry of Planning in 1977. There he was, among other things, head of department responsible for financial matters. Mahamidou then worked from 1984 to 1985 as an official advisor ( conseiller technique ) to the cabinet of Prime Minister Hamid Algabid . In 1985 Mahamidou became General Manager of Société Nigérienne de Cimenterie (SNC), the state-owned cement plant in Malbaza , which he remained until 1990.

President Ali Saïbou had initially abolished the office of Prime Minister on December 20, 1989 and reinstated it on March 2, 1990 after student protests in the capital Niamey. Aliou Mahamidou was entrusted with the office, at the time a political career changer who had made a name for himself as a successful entrepreneur. At the same time, Saïbou made a major government reshuffle, in which Mamadou Tandja was again appointed Minister of the Interior. In March 1991, Mahamidou also became Party Secretary for Economic Affairs of the National Development Society's Movement . During his tenure as Prime Minister, there was an attack by insurgent Tuaregs on the sub-prefecture in Tchintabarades , followed by a military counter-offensive, as well as the beginning political opening and democratization of Niger. In the course of this, the government was dissolved on July 29, 1991. In the successor government from October 27, 1991, Amadou Cheiffou served as Prime Minister. Aliou Mahamidou died almost five years later after an illness in a hospital in Niamey.
