  3. PLEASE CAN U EMAIL ME A VALID CROSS RIVER POSTAL CODE FOR JULY 2018

    Emmanuel asked on

    We can't email you anything, and this site doesn't publish postcodes by date, so there's no July 2018 code to send. We do list the old 6-digit postal area codes for Calabar-Municipal, such as 540221 for Airport and 540241 for Bogobiri. Each code covers a postal area with many streets, so check the area page for details: Calabar-Municipal postcodes.
