geography

Boulevard du Developpement on the northern edge of Kirkissoye (2018)

The district is located in the east of the urban area of ​​Niamey V. The neighboring districts are Pont Kennedy in the northwest and Gawèye in the north and, on both sides of National Road 27 , Saguia in the south and Banga Bana in the west. In the northeast of Kirkissoye is the informal settlement of Nialga . The village center of Kirkissoye covers an area of ​​around 25.6 hectares , while the expansion areas of the district extend over a total area of ​​around 135.3 hectares. The district lies on an alluvial floor , which mainly allows infiltration. There the groundwater is at risk of being contaminated. In the north, however, the groundwater level is so high that no infiltration is possible, which in turn increases the risk of flooding. Rainwater collects especially in the pits in the district.

The standard scheme for street names in Kirkissoye is rue KI 1 , with the French rue for street followed by KI for Kirkissoye 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 mostly do not coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue KI 1 scheme is also used in the neighborhoods of Kirkissoye.

history

The settlement existed before 1937, the year when the development of various districts in Niamey began in Plateau on the other bank of the Niger. The village of Kirkissoye was incorporated into Niamey in the 1970s after the Kennedy Bridge was built over the Niger River , which encouraged the city to expand to the right bank of the Niger. Fulbe residents in the village sold land to immigrants from the countryside and from the city center where housing had become too expensive. While the Fulbe continued irrigated agriculture and cattle breeding, Kirkissoye grew into a district with a very heterogeneous population. Especially at the turn of the 20th to the 21st century, the area and population of the city district was greatly enlarged. In 2007, Kirkissoye was one of the venues for the first edition of the Pripalo open-air cultural festival under the direction of Achirou Wagé . The relocation of around 750 flood-affected households from the Kirkissoye, Karadjé , Lamordé and Nogaré districts to the new Séno district was completed in February 2013.

population

At the 2012 census, Kirkissoye had 28,428 inhabitants who lived in 4,510 households. At the 2001 census the population was 23,388 in 3,572 households and at the 1988 census the population was 4,895 in 791 households.
