How the Nigerian Postal Codes Work
Nigeria does not have a single postal code as a whole, but its streets, villages, towns, and cities are each separated into a different postal region with a unique code.
The first digit of the code is made up of the nine regions that the Nigerian Postal Service, which is in charge of delivering postal services in Nigeria, divided the nation into. The dispatch district for outbound sorting is represented by the first digit along with the second and third digits. The delivery location, which might be either a post office facility, a rural area, or an urban area, is indicated by the final three numbers.
Every region’s postal head office has a code that ends in 0001, and the lowest and highest postcodes are 100001 and 982002 respectively. The postal code for Nigeria as a whole is 23401; for example, Ikeja Headquarters in Lagos is 100001.
