Name

[edit]

The university is named after former ProfessorAbdou Moumouni Dioffo, a Nigerien educator, intellectual, and president of the university. From 1974 to 1994, the institution was known as the University of Niamey.

UnderFrench colonial rule, there were no post-secondary institutions in Niger.

1990 massacre

[edit]

On 9 February 1990, 20 students in a peaceful march across theKennedy Bridge into Niamey City Centre were killed by police and armed forces. This event, known as the 'Kennedy Bridge Massacre', has since been seen as pivotal in bringing about popular alienation from the government of GeneralAli Saibou.[citation needed]

2006 protests

[edit]

In June 2006, the university temporarily closed due to protests andrioting. The 'Union des étudiants nigériens de l'Université de Niamey'(UENUN) called a general strike against the alleged withholding of scholarships as well as the deterioration of living and working conditions at the university. Students clashed with police, lit 10 vehicles on fire, while police used tear gas and batons on the students to prevent them from crossing the Kennedy Bridge, seriously injuring 10.[citation needed]
