His son Gindé Marieizé determined the final position of Namaro and brought the villages Bangou Koirey, Guillawa, Sikièye and Yonkoto under his rule.

The French colonial administration established a canton in Namaro at the beginning of the 20th century and recognized the local Songhai ruler Sidi as head of the canton. The rural community of Namaro emerged from the canton of Namaro in 2002 as part of a nationwide administrative reform.

Wet rice cultivation is practiced along the river . The western municipal area is located in a zone in which rain-fed agriculture is carried out. The large Saturday market in the main town is livened up by traders from Niamey. Mainly vegetables such as potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and onions as well as pottery made from boubon are sold .

At M'Banga, formerly a small hamlet populated by arable farmers in the municipality of Namaro, gold has been won since the 1980s . In the 2010s the gold mining facilities increasingly attracted immigrants from home and abroad and M'Banga grew into a 5000-inhabitant settlement in which over 15 languages ​​are used. The settlement is hardly subject to state control and its infrastructure is largely privately organized. There is an uncontrolled international market. M'Banga is a prostitution center and notorious for its poor security situation.

In the village of Larba Touloumbou there is a Center de Santé Intégré (CSI), a health center that was officially responsible for caring for over 11,000 people in 2016. From 2011 to 2014 over 200 cholera sufferers, most of whom lived in M'Banga, were treated at the CSI in Larba Touloumbou.
