Location of Saga Gorou II in Niger

Saga Gorou II (also: Saga Gorou 2 ) is a village in the Niamey IV arrondissement of the city of Niamey in Niger .

The village, led by a traditional chief (chef traditionnel) , is located on the eastern edge of the rural municipality of Niamey. The surrounding settlements include the hamlet of Fandoga in the north, the hamlet of Banga Banda in the south, the village of Deykouarey in the southwest and the hamlet of Fandora in the west. In the traditional system of rule, the mayor of Saga Gorou II reports to the head of the canton of Saga . The word gorou comes from the Zarma language and means "dry valley". Like Saga Gorou I, Saga Gorou II is located between two dry valleys .

The original tiger bush vegetation in the area completely disappeared from 1950 to 1975. As a result of the population growth of Niamey, the land was cleared and made arable.

At the 2012 census, Saga Gorou II had 19 residents who lived in 2 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 107 in 17 households.

There are numerous nurseries in Saga Gorou II. Cabbage, peppers, tomatoes, watermelons and sugar melons are grown here.
