Life

Foumakoye Gado studied chemistry at the University of Abidjan , which he left with a maîtrise , and at the University of Liège , where he did a doctorate in 1985. As early as 1979 he taught at the University of Niamey , where he most recently headed the Department of Chemistry at the Faculty of Education. He also worked as a lecturer at the Niamey Higher Normal School.

At the founding meeting of the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS-Tarayya) on December 23 and 24, 1990, Gado became the party's first deputy general secretary. In the parliamentary elections on February 14, 1993 , the first multi-party elections since Niger gained independence in 1960, he received a seat in the National Assembly as one of 13 MPs in the PNDS-Tarayya . In the government of April 23, 1993 with Prime Minister Mahamadou Issoufou (PNDS-Tarayya), Foumakoye Gado became Mining Minister. Prime Minister Issoufou resigned in September 1994. Gado was no longer a member of the subsequent government. In 1995 he rose to the position of general secretary in the party. He gained a reputation as a close confidante of the then party chairman Mahamadou Issoufou.

After Issoufou was elected president, Foumakoye Gado took over as Minister for Mining and Energy in the government on April 21, 2011. In the same year, Gado became the deputy chairman of PNDS-Tarayya instead of general secretary. Since a government reshuffle on August 13, 2013, he was Minister for Energy and Oil. In another government reshuffle on October 19, 2016, he lost the energy department and has been exclusively oil minister since then.
