Want to know your state of resident Postcode / Zip code? We have here, the full list of the 36 states of Nigeria zip codes.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need the Nigerian Zip/Postcodes, then we’ve got you covered. Some of the reasons why we need the Zip codes of our resident state or state of origin are mostly centred around filling out an online form for international transactions, registration or school application or scholarship forms, etc.
Difference Between Zip Codes and Postal Codes
The difference between the Zip code and Postal code is not much, it’s just that the Zip code is only used by The United States of America, while other countries including Nigeria, UK, France, China etc use the Postal code.

Meaning of ZIP
Here is the complete meaning of Zip Code;
Z = Zone,
I = Improvement,
P = Plan Code.
The Zone Improvement Plan, Zip Code is used by The US while Nigeria government adopt the use of Postal code. However, either one you choose, they are both used for mailing purpose.
The Nigeria postal codes are numeric, 6-digits in number.
But the Nigerian Postal Service (Nipost) divides Nigeria into nine regions, so it is easier to know your location and make your transaction faster and easier.
Number is ascertained to each of the nine regions, making up the first digit of its Postal code, the first 3 digits of the code (the second and the third digits combined with the first) are the dispatch district which is used for outgoing sorting and the last three digits are for the various post office in each region for delivery.
You should also know that the zip/postal codes for Nigeria states published here are for the head offices in each state, you will notice they all end with the digit, 001.
However, in our next article, I will be sharing with you, the area zip/postal codes for each town/local governments in the 36 states of Nigeria.
