The capital of Niger (6)

I believe the answer is:

niamey

'the capital of niger' is the definition.
('Niamey' can be a synonym of 'capital of niger')

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for niamey that I've seen is " Capital of Niger".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Guardian and The Times.
