Madina is located in the east of the urban parish of Niamey. The surrounding neighborhoods are Bandabari in the northeast, Route Filingué in the southeast, Abidjan in the south and Boukoki IV in the west. The district is located in a plateau with a sand layer more than 2.5 meters deep, which allows better infiltration than in other parts of the city.
The standard scheme for street names in Madina is rue MD 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by MD for Madina 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 do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue MD 1 scheme is used not only in Madina, but also in the neighboring district of Bandabari.
history
The Madina district was created in 1974. Apartments for the middle class were built here. In the mid-1980s, blacksmiths from the high Aïr mountains settled in Madina. With the division of Niamey into five districts in 1979, Madina became part of the 3rd district, which in 1989 merged with the 4th district in the sub-municipality Niamey II, which in turn was dissolved in 1996 in its previous form.
population
At the 2012 census, Madina had 40,934 residents who lived in 6,485 households. At the 2001 census the population was 23,270 in 3,596 households and at the 1988 census the population was 17,928 in 2956 households.
