The government of Niger provided 134 families with new homes in Sorey, after relocating them from the area surrounding the Niamey airport.
Officials presented the families’ representatives with keys to the houses at the Cité de la Refondation. Government members, administrative leaders, traditional chiefs, and religious figures attended the ceremony. The relocation addresses safety concerns and supports the expansion of Niamey, the capital city, and its infrastructure.
Organisers pledged to provide housing for all families affected by the displacement and included in the program. The administrator of the Liboré rural commune thanked the authorities for completing the relocation, noting the new homes will offer residents a fresh start after they were forced to leave their former neighbourhood. Officials and beneficiaries toured the new housing complex after the key handover.
