You’re probably not new to postal codes. Guess you’ve seen it online when you’re ordering goods, filing forms for official purposes, and job applications. Without a postal code, you won’t be able to send items from one location to another.

Postal codes are a group of letters or digits included in a postal address. These codes serve as indicators for delivering mail and parcels around a given geographical location. Nigeria is divided into 6 geographical zones, which make up the first digit of the code.

In purchasing a product online, you’ll be required to provide a Zip code for delivery purposes. While some countries’ postal codes are denoted by alphabets, Nigeria’s zip codes comprise only 6 digits. Typically, Zip stands for

  • Z- Zone
  • I- Improvement
  • P- Plan

The 6-digit zip code denotes the following:

  • The first 3 digits represent the district or area for the outgoing sorting
  • The second 3 digits indicate the delivery location

For example, the code of Abia state is 440001.

  • 440 represents the state code
  • 001 stands for the head department in each region.

If you’re sending a mail or parcel to another department in that same region, you’ll need to find out about the code.
