How To Find ZIP/Postal Codes Of State / City In Nigeria

 By  Leave a Comment
You should have had the cause to look for the zip codes of your state, city or street at one point in your life. If you have never been in this situation, you probably do not fill online forms much or you simply put whatever numbers in the text box. Some will just look for the phone code (23439 for Ogun State and 23401 for Lagos), and enter it wherever the form asks for Zip/Postal code.
Search Nigerian Postal Codes
Some do this out of ignorance because they really do not know what a zip code or a postal code is. Many people cannot differentiate between a Zip or Postal Code and Phone Code. Let me explain briefly.

What is a Zip or Postal Code?

Simply put, a postal code (known in various countries as a post code, postcode, or ZIP code in United States) is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail. It helps post offices to sort mails/parcels by state, cities and streets in order to make delivery easier and faster.

So, How Can I Get Postal Code For My City / Area In Nigeria?

Nigerian Postal Service has a web portal where you can go to and find all urban and rural zip or postal code as you may call it. This portal is very simple to use. Just like the screenshot above, all you have to do is:
1. Go to the Nigerian Post codes portal at www.nigeriapostcodes.com/
2. Choose if you want to search by Urban Location, Rural Location or Postal Facility (I am using the urban option)
3. Now choose your state from the drop-down
4. Choose your Town, then Area and lastly, Street
5. To get the code, click on the GET POSTCODE button
This will bring the postal code to you to copy. This is the code for your area or street, depending on what is written there.
For quick references, we have a list of Postcodes by states listed below for you.

Nigeria is not Obasanjo, Buhari’s horse – Latest news Nigeria Abimbola Adelakun A year and some weeks short of the 2019 presidential election, President Muhammadu Buhari experienced the infamous black arts of sanctimony from ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo. On one or two occasions, I had joked that Obasanjo would send Buhari “the letter” as he did with his predecessor. I was therefore not surprised when he eventually fired a missive from his lofty throne as the self-appointed custodian of Nigerian virtue on Tuesday. Obasanjo, in and out of government, has built a reputation for playing the venerable role of the country’s “big daddy” and writing righteous letters is one of the few responsibilities he bestowed on himself. In January 2016, he accused members of the National Assembly of corruption and greed in one of his infamous letters, excoriating the legislative branch over their unbridled greed. Previously, in December 2013, Obasanjo fused a chain reaction against the Presi...

What is wrong with being black? By Matthew Ashimolowo Celebrating our Heritage, Confronting our Challenges Overview When you look  around  you, you could only wonder, “Has it come to this?” Should we begin to think that black people have a peculiarity with problems? In truth, an examination of the lives of black people around the world should answer this bugging question. Even though all human communities; black, white, green or red, are faced with challenges, Matthew Ashimolowo was not being out of place when he asked: “What is wrong with Being Black?” This book is divided into two parts, the first part examines the  glorious  past of the man of colour while the second part analyses the problems that have been peculiar to black people and the causes of such problems. Matthew Ashimolowo tagged the second part “Conformations and Pathologies”. It is a shame that the glorious past of the black man is not often told of. Matthew Ashimolowo has done an ex...
