N'guigmi is a small city in the eastern most part of Niger, very near to Lake Chad - lying on its shore until the lake retreated.

N'guigmi is a military center for the region, a centre for the salt trade from Kaourar and is the last stop on the road to Chad. It is the seat of the Sous-Prefecture. N'guigmi is home to about 11,000 inhabitants, comprised mostly of people from the Fulani, Daza, and Kanouri ethnic groups.
