history

The place name comes from the Songhai-Zarma language : Koira Tagui means "new village" and Foulan Koira means "village of the Fulbe ".

As a result of the famine in Niger in 1931, an estimated 22,000 to 23,000 people moved to Niamey, where the French colonial administration distributed food free of charge. This migration formed the basis of the new settlements Koira Tagui and Deyzeibon . Koira Tagui had several different locations in the 20th century. The changes were relatively easy because the settlement consisted of straw huts. In the 1930s the settlement was in the city center and, along with Gawèye , Kalley , Maourey and Zongo, was one of the five districts that made up Niamey, which was founded in the early 20th century. Fulbe blacksmiths and Hausa cattle breeders lived in what was then Koira Tagui. The district was moved for the first time in 1931 to make way for the Palace of Justice. There it was replaced by the Lyceum in 1933, then by the radio station in 1936. From 1938 Koira Tagui was on the northern outskirts behind the dry valley Gounti Yéna , where it remained for a long time. The drought years of 1984 and 1985 saw strong population growth when Fulani refugees, who had initially settled in the city center, were driven here to reduce the risk of fire in the city center. In Koira Tagui they found pastures and were able to raise cattle and farm crops.

At the end of the 1980s, Koira Tagui reached its current location in the north after the population had been evicted from the previous to make way for the General Seyni Kountché Stadium, which was completed in 1989 . This time the land was parceled out and sold by the state to the residents. In addition, special zones for the blind and lepers have been created here. These gained the attention of international aid organizations that had a strong presence in Koira Tagui. This, in turn, led to the district's reputation for hosting a particularly large number of beggars. At the beginning of the 21st century, Koira Tagui had on the one hand developed the character of a dormitory city, as living in the city center had become too expensive, on the other hand it became a transit station for migrants from the Ouallam department who wanted to settle in the capital. Koira Tagui is one of the most dangerous areas of Niamey in terms of robbery and theft. In 2007, the district was one of the venues for the first edition of the Pripalo open-air cultural festival under the direction of Achirou Wagé .

population

At the 2012 census, Koira Tagui had 35,784 residents who lived in 5,563 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 17,466 in 2,804 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 6,511 in 1,106 households.

Infrastructure

In Koira Tagui there is a state health center (Center de Santé Intégré) , which was established in 1986. The public primary school Ecole primaire de Koira Tagui was founded in 1992. The secondary school Collège d'enseignement général de Koira Tagui (CEG Koira Tagui) has existed since 2004.
