    Ashir asked on

    Thanks for letting us know. The Makurdi page lists 12 areas, and we don't yet cover every neighbourhood in the LGA. The old 6-digit codes cover a postal area rather than a single street, so if you want to suggest your area, that helps us add it. For the exact building-level postcode, check NIPOST's postcode finder. You can browse the existing codes on the Makurdi page.
