Breaking away from the colonial division of the territory into circles and sub-divisions, Niger is today divided into seven departments, each administered by a Prefect. Each Department is sub-divided into districts, headed by a sub-Prefect, and each district has one or more administrative posts. One hundred fifty communes were also established. Niamey, Maradi, Tahoua, Zinder now enjoy the status of cities, and each has a mayor appointed by a decree issued by the head of state. The mayors of the cities come under the jurisdiction of the Prefects, while mayors of communes are under the authority of Sub-Prefects. In April 2001, in an effort to further decentralize administration, the number of communes was increased to 229.
