Nigeria Postal Codes Information

Nigeria Postal codes are numeric, comprising six digits.  The Nigerian Postal Service, NIPOST actually divided Nigeria into nine different zones. This formed the first digit of the Nigeria Postal code. Then combining the second, and third digits with the first code are used for the dispatch district for the outgoing sorting of packages.

What about the last three digits of the NIPOST CODE?

These last three digits are used for the precise delivery location of an outgoing package. Thus any of the following can be a delivery location; a rural area, a post office facility, or an urban area.

Every primary postal head office in each of these regions will possess a postal code that is ending in “0001”. For instance, Ahoada Main Head Office in Rivers has the postal code 510001. The Ikeja Head Office in Lagos has 100001.
