Life

Moutari Moussa belongs to the Hausa ethnic group . He attended schools in Mirriah and Tessaoua and then entered the civil service. From 1975 to 1977 he was deputy sub-prefect and from 1977 to 1978 sub-prefect of the arrondissement of Dosso . Moussa studied for the next three years at the École nationale d'administration , the national administration school in the capital Niamey . He then worked from 1981 to 1983 as sub-prefect of the arrondissement Say . In 1984 he trained in administration at the Center d'Etudes Economiques et Financières in Paris and was employed as sub-prefect of the Arrondissement Tillabéri from 1985 to 1987 .

Head of State Ali Saibou appointed Moutari Moussa as chairman of the National Development Council in 1987. In this position he succeeded Mamane Oumarou . The rise of the little-known Moussa to the top of the potentially powerful body was considered surprising. Moussa was entrusted with preparing the state institutions of the Second Republic after the national charter referendum of 1987 , which began with the constitutional referendum of 1989 . In the parliamentary elections of 1989 Moussa stood for the then unity party MNSD-Nassara and won a seat in the national assembly in the constituency of Mirriah. He was elected President of the National Assembly that same year, which he remained until 1991, when the National Assembly was replaced by a transitional parliament. In the parliamentary elections of 1993 and the parliamentary elections of 1995 he was re-elected as MNSD Nassara member of the constituency of Zinder . Moussa was a member of the Council of Ministers after the military coup by Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara in 1996. He became a member of UNIRD , the new party of the head of state Baré Maïnassara. In the 1996 general election , Moussa entered parliament for UNIRD and was re-elected President of Parliament, which he remained until the military coup by Daouda Malam Wanké in 1999. Moussa was chairman of the Union of African Parliamentarians from 1997 to 1999 . Through the parliamentary elections of 1999 he became a member of the UNIRD successor party RDP-Jama'a . From 2000 to 2004 he was also a member of the inter-parliamentary commission of the UEMOA . In May 2008 Moussa was elected head of the canton of Mirriah, an office with high prestige in the system of the chefferie traditionnelle , the traditional local rulers.
