One of the major reasons why letters, parcels and goods are not delivered to their right destinations is that they are tagged with the wrong postal codes.
Postal codes in Nigeria are numeric, consisting of six digits. NIPOST,
the Nigerian Postal Service, divides the country into nine regions,
which make up the first digit of the code. The second and third digits,
combined with the first, are the dispatch district for outgoing sorting.
The last three digits are for delivery.
The main postal head office in each region will have a postal code ending in 0001, so Garki Main HO in Abuja has the postal code 970001
, Ikeja HO in Lagos has 100001, Lokoja in Kogi has 270001 and Port Harcourt has 500001. The lowest postcode is 100001 and the highest is 982002
Please note that no single postal code works for all areas within Nigeria. (So, if you’ve always thought +23401 or 110001 applies to the whole country, you’re wrong.) In other words, postal codes vary for each city and even locality within Nigeria.

To get the right postal code for your location, use the Nigerian postal service postcode system, which provides you the correct postal code after requesting for your state, town, area, and locality. This is by far the most reliable online resource for finding the correct postcodes for areas within Nigeria.
