Have you ever been asked what is Nigeria's ZIP code, either from a friend or an online application, and you hurriedly and confidently, said or inserted 234? My question is: what happened next? You most likely were laughed at or bounced back from your application! Newsflash, 234 was wrong!!!
Before I give the correct codes, first off, let's clarify a thing or two...
ZIP Code
ZIP Code is short for: Zone Improvement Pin Code and it was exclusively coined for the U.S. Why? Because when senders used the ''Code'' in the Postal Address, the mails traveled efficiently and quickly(like a ''Zip''). In other words, ZIP Code is also known as Postal Code. And they both are used for the same purpose - mailing.
So, while ZIP code is likened to the U.S, Postal code is likened to all other countries - including Nigeria.
Nigeria's ZIP or Postal (whichever) Codes are;
- 110001
- 23401
- 00176
