Capital

Niamey is the largest city and capital of this sate. It is located southwest corner of this nation, and near at Niger River. Weather is hot, during may and june it is also rainy season. Being a capital city people living here get more opportunity as compare to other region. Here most people belong to architecture, business, craft, less are interested in agriculture. Attractive place is Niger National Museum, also the Mahatma Gandhi International Conference Center (MGICC) was established in Niamey together with India and Niger.

On the basis of above discussion, we can say Niger is underdeveloped country, it has huge poverty, low per capita, source of income is very limited and life of people is miserable.

As per my opinion to overcome from this situation, First set a Goal, then create plane, and execute the process. This is the formula need to use to achieve the Goal. Now the question is what kind of Goal need to set? The answer is 1. Create the Income Source 2. Improve the Education system 3. Flexible Transportation 4. Encourage the young generation to start their own startup 4. Spend less that what you earn.
