For quite some time now, there have been confusion as to what Zip Code is especially when filling forms online or even while mailing. many still make the mistake of putting down 234( Nigeria International Dailing Code) as there Zip Code whenever they are asked to.
Below on this post, I will tell you all you have to Know about Zip Code In Nigeria, to help clear that confusion if you have ever been confused about the issue. Also, I will list out the Zip Codes for the various states in Nigeria.
WHAT IS ZIP CODE; ANY DIFFERENCE FROM POSTAL CODES?
Zip code which stands for (Zone Improvement Plan) Codes are used only in the United States for Mailing purpose, so as in Nigeria and other countries, Postal codes are been used instead of Zip codes.
