geography

Route Filingué is located to the east of the urban municipality and borders the Niamey green belt to the east . The neighboring districts are Madina , Bandabari and Banifandou II in the north-west and Poudrière in the south-west. The district extends over an area of ​​around 206.9 hectares and is located in a plateau with a predominantly more than 2.5 meters deep layer of sand, which allows better infiltration than in other parts of the city. Only in a strip along the green belt is the sand layer less than 2.5 meters deep.

Route Filingué is named after the paved road leading through the district to Filingué , a town northeast of Niamey. The southern section of Route Filingué is formed by the Wadata district, best known for the Marché de Wadata market .

The standard scheme for street names in Route Filingué is rue RF 1 , where the French rue for street is followed by RF for Route Filingué and finally a number. This goes back to a project to name streets in Niamey in 2002, in which the city was divided into 44 zones, each with its own letter abbreviations. These zones do not necessarily coincide with the administrative boundaries of the eponymous districts. The rue RF 1 scheme is also used in parts of the neighboring Poudrière district.

history

The Route Filingué district was created during the uranium boom from 1977 to 1980. Employees from Niamey mines in the north of the country bought land here. During the drought of 1984, Fulbe refugees from the Kollo arrondissement settled in Route Filingué. They were able to sell livestock products such as dairy products and dung to the townspeople here. In the mid-1980s, poor sections of the population from the city center also settled here. The head of the district (chef de quartier) was given three deputies who were responsible for different sections of the population according to ethnic aspects. After 1989, large housing projects were realized here on more than 1000 hectares of land.

With the division of Niamey into five districts in 1979, Route Filingué became part of the 3rd district, which in 1989 became part of the 4th district in the sub-municipality Niamey II, which in turn was dissolved in its previous form in 1996. Route Filingué with the Marché de Wadata was added to Niamey IV so that there was also a significant market there. So it became the only district of Niamey IV that lies west of the Niamey Green Belt.

population

At the 2012 census, Route Filingué had 30,741 inhabitants who lived in 5059 households. At the 2001 census the population was 35,376 in 5,468 households, and at the 1988 census the population was 21,078 in 3,463 households.

The Marché de Wadata is a 1.5 hectare market in the south of Route Filingué. Attached to it is a center for handicrafts of about the same size. The market dates back to 1982. Its charisma extends over the entire city area. The Center Culturel Oumarou Ganda (CCOG), named after the actor and film director Oumarou Ganda , was founded in 1980.

The middle school Collège d'enseignement général 8 (CEG 8) has existed since 1980, the middle school Collège d'enseignement général 10 (CEG 10) since 1981 and the middle school Collège d'enseignement général 21 (CEG 21) since 1992.
