Have you ever been in that situation where you are filling a form for an application or trying to purchase something online, and the next question you are asked is “what’s your postal code”?
Well, for me, that question is always of no for me🥺😩, how do I know, especially in Nigeria. So, a lot of times, I just let go! I either stop the purchase or application or make efforts to get the postal code of my area.
If you are currently in that situation, worry less! We gat you covered here! In this article we will not only be showing you how to locate zip and postal codes of Nigeria’s Local Government Areas(LGAs), but we will be explaining how postal codes and posts codes differs, and how they are used in Nigeria.
Here is a list of what we will be discussing in this article
What are zip codes and postal codes?
Zip codes and postal codes are both used in various countries to identify precise locations for mail delivery. In the United States of America, zip codes are utilized, while postal codes are used in other countries, such as Nigeria.
Since 1963, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has employed a zip code system of postal codes. It is made up of a set of digits that guide the selection of a specific area for mail delivery. A postal code, on the other hand, is a set of letters and digits that helps to identify a specific place for mail delivery in a country other than the United States.
Zip codes vs. postal codes in Nigeria
The major difference between zip codes and postal codes is that zip codes are used in the United States and the Philippines, while postal codes are used in other nations such as Nigeria. Zip codes are five digits long, however postal codes in Nigeria are six digits long.
Moreover, zip codes in the United States are used to identify specific areas within a state, while postal codes in Nigeria are used to identify specific LGAs within a state.
How Do Zip Codes and Postal Codes Work in Nigeria?
Postal codes in Nigeria are assigned based on geographical zones and regions. The first digit of the postal code represents the area, the second and third digits the district, and the final three digits the delivery location. For example, the postal code for Abuja’s Central Business District is 900211, where 900 represents the area, 2 the district, and 11 the exact delivery address.
In essence, zip codes are not evenly dispersed around the country and are allocated by foreign courier companies. Those who utilize courier services may be confused since each one has a different procedure for allocating zip codes.
Why are zip codes and postal codes important?
Zip and postal codes are important because they help ensure that mail and parcels are delivered to their proper destinations on time and safely. They also aid in commerce and trade globally by giving an accurate method of identifying certain locations.
A proper postal code is extremely crucial in Nigeria since it might impact the delivery of important papers such as passports, bank statements, and other sensitive goods. These things may be delayed or even lost in transit if a suitable postal code is not provided, causing frustration and even loss.
The ZIP codes for the 36 states and their LGAs will be displayed in this article.

Identifying zip codes and postal codes is important. Well, this is probably not part of what you would be taught in Nigerian schools. Not only do you need it for sending and receiving mail in Nigeria, but you also need it to complete some applications. If you are considering studying or traveling abroad then you might need to pay close attention to postal/zip codes. While zip codes are used in the United States, postal codes are also used in other nations such as Nigeria. The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) established postal codes in Nigeria in 2000, and they consist of a six-digit number that identifies a specific location for mail delivery within the country.
Nigeria has over 5000 post offices spread across the country. NIPOST is owned by the Nigerian government, and with the list you have, you can find the correct ZIP or POST code of the address you require.
