Location of Sandiré in Niger

Sandiré is a village in the Tagazar rural community in Niger .

The village, run by a traditional chief (chef traditionnel) , is located on the right bank of the Dallol Bosso dry valley , about 13 kilometers southwest of Balleyara , the capital of the rural municipality of Tagazar, which is part of the Balleyara department in the Tillabéri region. Larger villages in the vicinity of Sandiré are Winditane around 11 kilometers away in the north, Tabla around 17 kilometers away in the northeast and Koygolo around 21 kilometers away in the southeast.

After the city of Dosso was placed under French rule on December 2, 1898 , Sandiré was one of the villages in which the French secured their authority immediately afterwards. The Fulbe leader Bayéro, who came from Sandiré, merged a Fulbe group in Birni N'Gaouré into a new unit in 1900 with the permission of the French administrative post in Dosso . Sandiré became the capital of the French canton of Tagazar until it was replaced by the village of Tabla in 1922. The close ties between the political and Islamic authorities in Sandiré have been strengthened over the decades.

At the 2012 census, Sandiré had 1,382 inhabitants who lived in 184 households. At the 2001 census, the population was 790 in 92 households, and at the 1988 census, the population was 619 in 89 households.

The school in Sandiré dates back to 1902. This year the first French schools were opened here as well as in Filingué , Dosso and Niamey in what would later become Niger. With a Center de Santé Intégré (CSI), a health center has existed in the village since 2001.
