Many Nigerians are unaware of their postal codes, yet they are essential for completing online applications, registrations, and deliveries. If you've ever filled out an online form and found yourself wondering what your postal code is, you're not alone!

Understanding Nigeria’s Postal Code System

Nigeria’s postal codes consist of six digits, assigned by the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST). The country is divided into nine regions, with the first digit of the code representing the specific region. The next two digits, combined with the first, designate the dispatch district for outgoing mail sorting.
