Mamane Oumarou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mamane Oumarou (b. 1946) is a statesman of Niger who served two brief periods as Prime Minister of Niger.
A Kanuri from the eastern part of the country, he was ambassador to Canada, then mayor of Maradi, and Minister of Youth, Sports, and Culture under Seyni Kountché. Kountché appointed him prime minister on 24 January 1983, but in November of that year made Oumarou the head of the National Council for Development, where he served until 1988.
Kountché's successor Ali Saïbou appointed Oumarou prime minister in May 1989, but eliminated the position in December 1989.
