geography

Street on the right bank of the Gounti Yéna in Boukoki III (2018)

Boukoki III belongs to the Boukoki district north of Niamey's historic city center . It is bordered by the streets of Boulevard Mali Béro, Avenue Maourikoye Néni, Boulevard de l'Indépendance and Avenue du Zarmaganda. The surrounding districts are Tourakou in the north, Boukoki II in the northeast, Boukoki I in the southeast, Zongo in the south and Issa Béri in the west. Boukoki III lies in a plateau with a layer of sand more than 2.5 meters deep. The dry valley Gounti Yéna runs through the district , which has an alluvial soil with a high water table that does not allow infiltration.

The standard scheme for street names in Boukoki III is rue BK 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by the abbreviation BK for Boukoki 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.
