Later he was to act as Vice President of the influential Nigerien Veterans and War Victims Association. From 1948 Alidou worked as a teacher, initially in Guidimouni and Zinder . Because of his membership in the Nigerien Progressive Party (PPN-RDA), which the colonial administration was suspicious of, he was transferred to the remote oasis of Bilma in 1950 , where he had to stay until 1952. He then taught briefly in Tahoua until he switched to different schools in Niamey.

Alidou became president of the cultural and sports organization Amicale de Niamey in 1955 instead of Zada Niandou . Until 1965 he appeared regularly as an actor in their renowned theater ensemble. He remained president of the organization until its dissolution in 1974. In 1956 he also took over the office of treasurer of the party leadership of the PPN-RDA. Niger gained independence from France in 1960 under the leadership of the PPN-RDA. Barkiré Alidou was head of cabinet of Interior Minister Yansambou Maïga Diamballa at the time . From 1962 to 1965 he held managerial positions in the Ministry of Defense. The defense ministers during this period were Ikhia Zodi , Djibo Yacouba and Noma Kaka . Alidou belonged to the closest leadership circle of the rulers of the First Republic. He was appointed Minister for Economic Affairs, Trade and Industry in 1965.
