Largest West African river (5)

I believe the answer is:

niger

(Other definitions for niger that I've seen before include "Part of Africa" , "22 across (anag) -- northwest African river" , "West African republic" , "River, Africa's largest delta" , "African state and river" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
