history

The department of Dosso goes back historically to the district of Dosso ( cercle de Dosso ), which was established in 1907 by the French military administration and originally included the areas of today's departments of Gaya and Say .

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the Dosso district. 1964 an administrative reform divided Niger into seven departments, the predecessors of the later regions, and 32 arrondissements, the predecessors of the later departments. In the course of this, the Dosso district was converted into the Dosso arrondissement. Moutari Moussa , later President of the National Assembly , headed the arrondissement as sub-prefect from 1977 to 1978 . The future Prime Minister Brigi Rafini was sub-prefect of Dosso from August 1984 to September 1986.

In 1998 the previous Arrondissements of Nigers were converted into departments, each headed by a prefect appointed by the Council of Ministers. The department has been divided into municipalities since 2002. Before that, it consisted of the urban center Dosso and the canton Dosso.
