List of Nigeria Postal Codes/Zip Codes For All Cities
Nigeria is a federal republic in West Africa, bordering Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, and Niger in the north. The country’s name comes from the Niger River which forms its southern boundary.
Many internet websites require correct postal codes when they are collecting physical addresses. One such activity is shopping online. A valid postal code is required to send your package to the right address.
The Nigerian postal code is well structured by the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), with every location having its unique code (6 digits). Unlike some countries where postal/zip codes usually carry some alphabets, Nigeria postal codes are represented using only 6 digits, irrespective of the region.
According to NIPOST, the Nigerian nation is divided into nine regions which make up the first digit of the code. The second and third digits, combined with the first, are the dispatch district for outgoing sorting. The last three digits represent the delivery location determined by your local post office. A delivery location can be any of the following; a post office facility, a rural area, or an urban area.
To know your postcode, go ahead and click on your state and then your Local Government Area (LGA) to reveal all the postal codes within that LGA; then browse through the tables to find out the postal or zip code of your exact district, ward or location.
