Nigeria uses a 6-digit postal code system designed to organize regions, districts, and local delivery points. The first digit represents the geographical zone, the next two digits identify the dispatch district, and the last three point to the specific delivery area or post office. For example, 100001 is the postal code for Lagos Mainland (Marina), one of the most recognized addresses in Nigeria.

Each code is carefully structured to reflect the country’s vast and diverse layout — from urban centers to rural towns. The postal codes range across all regions, reaching up to 982112 in Benue State, which represents one of the highest-numbered locations in the country’s system.
