history
In 1899, the Bibiyergou area came under French military administration as part of the newly created Sinder district . In 1905 the place was attached to the new military territory of Niger. The rural community of Bibiyergou was established as an administrative unit in 2002 during a nationwide administrative reform. The canton Tillabéri / Sakoïra was dissolved and its territory was divided into the communities Bibiyergou, Sakoïra and Tillabéri. The original proposal of the Tuareg group Rhattafan living in this area was to make the administrative village Tondia of the rural community Dessa the capital of a separate Rhattafan community. However, this was rejected by the responsible ministerial commission. Tondia stayed with Dessa and the Rhattafan received Bibiyergou instead as a new rural community dominated by them.

At the 2001 census, Bibiyergou had 2,187 inhabitants. For 2010, 2895 inhabitants were calculated.
