Postal codes are a system of identifying locations for mail delivery.
Understanding these codes is essential for accurate and timely delivery of letters, packages, and other postal items.
Structure of Nigerian Postal Codes
Nigerian postal codes follow a six-digit format, with each digit holding specific information:
- First digit: Represents the geo-political zone of the state. Plateau State falls under the North-Central Zone, designated by the number “9.”
- Second and third digits: Combined with the first digit, these identify the dispatch district for sorting outgoing mail.
- Last three digits: These represent the specific delivery location, usually a post office or an urban area.
