Koygolo (also: Koïgolo ) is a rural community in the Boboye department in Niger .

geography

The rural community lies at the transition from the Sahel to the greater Sudan landscape on Wadi Dallol Bosso . There is a high risk of flooding. Koygolo is difficult to access due to lack of or poor roads. The neighboring communities are Tagazar in the north, Loga , Sokorbé and Garankédey in the east, Harikanassou and Kiota in the south and Dantchandou in the west. The municipality is divided into 41 administrative villages, 37 traditional villages and two hamlets. The main town of the rural municipality is the administrative village of Koygolo.

history

The main town Koygolo was founded in the second half of the 19th century by Issa Korombé as his new seat of power, who had previously been in Karma . After the city of Dosso was placed under French rule at the end of 1898 , Koygolo, along with Birni N'Gaouré and Sandiré, was one of the villages in which the French secured their authority immediately afterwards. The colonial power finally established a canton in Koygolo in 1905. The rural community of Koygolo emerged from the canton of Koygolo in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform.

At the 2001 census, Koygolo had 39,414 inhabitants. At the 2012 census, the population was 48,218. The majority of the population belongs to the Zarma ethnic group . There is also a Fulbe minority in Koygolo, and there are three Tuareg villages and a Songhai village in the municipality.
