Marcel Inné (born November 21, 1934 in Dogondoutchi , † March 5, 2001 in Niamey ) was a Nigerian teacher who worked as a trade union official, local politician, broadcasting director and education minister.

Life

Marcel Inné attended primary school in Zinder and then completed a teacher training course in Niamey. From 1951 to 1954 he worked as an assistant teacher in Maïné-Soroa and Magaria . From 1955 he taught at the regional school in Birni , the historic center of Zinder. In the same year, Inné became general secretary of both the Zinder section of the teachers' union Syndicat National des Enseignants du Niger (SNEG) and the Zinder section of the Union Nationale des Travailleurs du Niger (UNTN). In the 1950s he stayed twice in France for training .

From 1960 to 1964 Inné was director of the regional school in Birni, from 1964 to 1967 school councilor and from 1968 school inspector of the Zinder department . In 1966 he also took over the office of Vice Mayor of Zinder. In his function as school inspector, he was actively involved in the introduction of the écoles experimentales . In these experimental schools, founded in 1973, in the primary school sector, the national languages of Niger were taught in addition to French as the official language . Marcel Inné and André Salifou also established the theater tradition in the city of Zinder.

A military coup on April 15, 1974 ended the tenure of long-time President Hamani Diori . Seyni Kountché installed himself as the new ruler . Marcel Inné was ordered to the capital Niamey and lost his posts as a union official, school inspector and vice mayor. In 1974 the military regime entrusted him with a new task as head of school television . Then in 1978 Kountché appointed him the first general director of the state broadcaster ORTN . He held this position until 1981. From 1981 to 1987 Inné was Vice Director of the Institut National de Documentation, de Recherches et d'Animation Pédagogiques (INDRAP). From the 1970s he also worked as a consultant for UNESCO and the CILSS and was temporarily responsible for teacher training at Niamey University .

Seyni Kountché died in 1987, Ali Saibou succeeded him at the head of the state. For Marcel Inné this meant another leap forward in his career. From 1987 to 1989 he was a member of the National Development Council, the highest government body, where he was responsible for training the regime's officials. On May 19, 1989, Marcel Inné was appointed Minister of Education to succeed Ousmane Gazéré . However, he only stayed in office for a few months. On December 20, 1989, Mamadou Dagra became the new Minister of Education. Inné retired on January 1, 1990. Head of State Saibou later appointed him chairman of the board of directors of the state-owned Hôtel Gawèye in Niamey.
