history
The place is named after its first ruler Mayahi. Before the arrival of the French at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, Mayahi was part of the independent state of Gobir . At the beginning of the 20th century, the French administration set up a canton in Mayahi, to which the dissolved canton Almoktar was attached in 1924.
Along with N'Guigmi, Mayahi was the second city in Niger where the United Nations Capital Development Fund carried out a project to create a decentralized local administration from the end of 2000. The project included, among other things, the monitoring of informal elections and informal “shadow governments” in order to prepare for the establishment of functioning official municipal bodies. In 2002, as part of a nationwide administrative reform, the area of the canton of Mayahi was divided into the municipalities of Mayahi and Attantané, Guidan Amoumoune (including the administrative village of Almoktar) and Sarkin Haoussa.
