Collège Mariama is located in the east of the city center of Niamey. The neighboring districts are Kalley Sud in the northwest, Poudrière in the northeast and southeast and Nouveau Marché in the southwest. Collège Mariama extends over an area of ​​about 63.6 hectares and is located in a plateau with a layer of sand that, apart from a small section in the north, is less than 2.5 meters deep, which means that only limited infiltration is possible.

The standard scheme for street names in Collège Mariama is rue NM 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by NM for Nouveau Marché 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. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue NM 1 scheme is used not only in the Nouveau Marché district, but also in Collège Mariama, among other places.

history
