Avenue Kaocen in Boukoki II (2018)

Boukoki II belongs to the Boukoki district north of Niamey's historic city center . It is bordered by the streets of Boulevard Mali Béro, Avenue de l'Ader, Avenue Kaocen and Avenue Maourikoye Néni. The surrounding neighborhoods are Djeddah Koira Mè in the north, Boukoki IV in the east, Boukoki I in the south and Boukoki III in the west. Boukoki II is located on a plateau with a layer of sand that is less than 2.5 meters deep in the north and more than 2.5 meters in the south.

The standard scheme for street names in Boukoki II 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.

history

In the 1960s, housing developments for immigrants from the interior of the country developed in the individual quarters of Boukoki, who moved to the capital partly because of the poor food situation in the country. Boukoki II was still in the 1970s on the northern outskirts of Niamey, which merged into a largely undeveloped treeless arable area.

At the 2012 census, Boukoki II had 11,622 inhabitants who lived in 2,071 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 11,301 in 1,814 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 10,312 in 1809 households.
