Location of Malgorou in Niger

Malgorou is a village in the Yélou rural community in Niger .

The village, led by a traditional local chief ( chef traditionnel ), is located on the edge of the periodically water-bearing dry valley Dallol Foga in the Dendi region . Malgorou is located about 15 kilometers as the crow flies southwest of the village of Yélou, the capital of the rural municipality of the same name, which belongs to the Gaya department in the Dosso region. The national road 7 runs through Malgorou , via which one reaches the city of Gaya after about 35 kilometers by road and to the north after about 106 kilometers by road the city of Dosso .

At the 2012 census, Malgorou had 5115 inhabitants who lived in 759 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 3,544 in 459 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 3,005 in 452 households.

There is a cattle market in the village. The market day is Saturday. Malgorou is also a regionally important trading center for peanuts, grain and sugar cane. In addition to the location on national road 7, a network of paths around the village is particularly advantageous, as it enables the delivery of agricultural products from the area. Fruit is grown on the banks of the dry valley right by the village.
