    Nathan asked on

    Sorry you can't see it. For Uruan LGA, the legacy 6-digit code we list is 520105, which covers Uruan Central. One code covers a whole postal area, not a single building. For the new building-level postcode, use NIPOST's postcode finder. You can also browse the Uruan postcodes page.

  2. I did not see thé zip code for Northern Uruan District. However this is a good développement. Before now there was no information online on Uruan and i really worked hard to publish the little i did at Uruan Transformation Mandate back in 2011. Your work is a nice one, please endeavour to complete Ut. God bless you.

    Moses asked on

    Thank you for the kind words about Uruan. We don't list a separate code for Northern Uruan District yet. Our Uruan page shows the legacy 6-digit postcode 520105, which covers Uruan Central; one legacy code covers a wide postal area, not a single building. You can see it on the Uruan postcodes page. For building-level codes, use NIPOST's postcode finder.

    Ini asked on

    Our Uruan page does list a code. Uruan LGA uses the old 6-digit postcode 520105, which covers Uruan Central. Old codes cover a whole postal area rather than one building. For the new building-level postcode, use the NIPOST search at https://postcode.gov.ng/find. You can see the listing on the Uruan postcodes page.
