history

After Niger gained independence in 1960, the national territory was divided into 32 districts ( circonscriptions ). One of them was the Tillabéri district. 1964 an administrative reform divided Niger into seven departments, the predecessors of the later regions, and 32 arrondissements , the predecessors of the later departments. In the course of this, the Tillabéri district was converted into the Tillabéri arrondissement. Moutari Moussa , later President of the National Assembly , headed the arrondissement as sub-prefect from 1985 to 1987 .

In 1998, the previous Arrondissements of Niger were elevated to departments, each headed by a prefect appointed by the Council of Ministers. The department has been divided into municipalities since 2002. Before that, it consisted of the urban center Tillabéri and the cantons of Tillabéri / Sakoïra, Anzourou, Ayorou, Dessa, Kourteye / Sansani Haoussa and Sinder. In 2011 Ayérou was separated from the Tillabéri department as a separate department.
