Life

Sanoussi Tambari Jackou is the son of Mallam Tambari Jackou, a Tuareg -Anführers, and Mallama Hadiza Gado, one from Gobir originating Hausa . Jackou attended elementary school in his hometown and middle schools in Niamey and Abidjan . He then went to France and studied mathematics and physics at the University of Dijon , followed by studies in law and economics in Tunis and Paris . He returned to Niger in 1970 and joined the civil service as a member of the Planning Commission for Water, Energy and Mining. In 1972 he was transferred to the Ministry of Education. There he took on the task of supporting the rector of the newly founded Niamey University in building the university. Jackou then taught agricultural science there himself and was also the director of industrial development for the West African Economic Community. In 1976, he was sentenced to several years in prison on charges of plotting to overthrow Seyni Kountché's military regime .

Jackou was released from prison in November 1987 after the death of Seyni Kountché. From 1989 he headed the economics faculty at Niamey University. In 1991 he was one of the founding members of the Democratic and Social Assembly Party (CDS-Rahama) and became its deputy chairman. In the parliamentary elections of 1993 he was elected to the National Assembly. He was Vice President of the National Assembly from 1993 to 1994. Jackou agreed against the party line to work with Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara , head of state, who came to power in a military coup in 1996, and was therefore excluded from the CDS-Rahama. He then founded the Nigerien Self-Government Party (PNA-Al'ouma), a small conservative party, with himself as chairman. He also started his own weekly paper, Roue de l'Histoire . On June 13, 1997, President Baré Maïnassara appointed Sanoussi Jackou as Minister of State for Higher Education, Research, Technology and African Integration in the government of Prime Minister Amadou Boubacar Cissé . He held this office until December 1, 1997. Jackou, now a simple MP of the PNA-Al'ouma, allied himself with Islamic groups in 2006 to thwart laws promoting women's rights . In 2007 he was actively involved in the overthrow of Prime Minister Hama Amadou's government through a motion of no confidence in parliament. When President Mamadou Tandja wanted to secure a third term in office through the constitutional referendum of 2009 , he was initially one of his opponents, but then joined the president as one of the few opposition politicians. After the fall of Tandja and since the parliamentary elections in 2011 , Jackou and his party are no longer represented in the National Assembly.

Sanoussi Jackou is married. He has five daughters with his wife Françoise, a math teacher, including aviation expert Rakiatou Kaffa-Jackou .
