Residents and businesses in Lagos rely on postal codes for various purposes.
Given its size and pace, an efficient postal system is crucial. This is where postal codes come into play, ensuring that mail and packages are delivered accurately and promptly.
What are postal codes?
Postal codes are numerical codes used to identify specific geographic areas within a country. These codes help in sorting and delivering mail by indicating precise locations. In Lagos, as in many other cities, postal codes are important for efficient mail distribution, helping postal services and couriers deliver items quickly and accurately.
Structure of Lagos postal codes
Lagos postal codes typically consist of six digits. The first digit represents the region, while the subsequent digits narrow down the location further, specifying the district and sometimes even the street. For example, in the postal code “100271,” “1” represents the region, which in this case is Lagos.
