Yes, everywhere has or will expirience earthquakes. The world is made up of techtonic plates, large pieces of Earth that sit on top of the toothpaste-like mantle. As the mantle flows, the plates move. When the plates collide, pressure builds up. When all the pressure is released, there is an earthquake. Niger is not on a plate boundary, but when two plates push in opposite directions on one plate (sandwiching it) pressure builds up on the plate in the middle. Eventually, the plate could "crack". It splits similarly to when a cracker is being pushed on on two sides, then cracks in half. Niger would be a possibility for this to happen. So, yes, Niger can have Earthquakes.
