history

The name Birni Lallé comes from the Hausa language and means “citadel of happiness”. Birni Lallé was the first capital of Gobir known by name , later the people of Gobir moved further south. The ruins of the old Birni Lallé still exist today. In the 1920s, some families from Tibiri settled in the village. In 1947, the French colonial administration established a canton in Birni Lallé, thereby removing the place from the already existing canton of Kornaka. In the course of a nationwide administrative reform in 2002, the area of ​​the canton of Birni Lallé was divided into the rural communities of Birni Lallé and Azagor, Korahane and Roumbou I. Parts of the canton also fell to the departmental capital Dakoro.

population

At the 2001 census, Birni Lallé had 22,477 inhabitants. At the 2012 census, the population was 30,846.

Economy and Infrastructure

Birni Lallé is in a zone where agropastoralism is practiced. Land use conflicts between ranchers who wander through the municipal area between north and south and settled arable farmers are common. There is only one, comparatively small, market in the municipality. National road 30 runs through Birni Lallé and connects the town with the neighboring communities of Dakoro and Kornaka. The attraction of the nearby city of Dakoro has a negative effect on efforts to establish a functioning decentralized administration in Birni Lallé.
