Questions from readers

Readers' questions about this page, answered from our own postcode data. We never look up or give new 11-character building codes: use postcode.gov.ng/find for those.

  1. Onu Ebonyi is not here

    Michael asked on

    Thanks for letting us know. We don't have a page for Onu Ebonyi yet. Ebonyi LGA, which covers several areas including Amachi, Amagu and Edda, is listed on the Ebonyi LGA page. The old 6-digit codes cover a postal area rather than one building. For the new building-level postcode, use postcode.gov.ng/find.

  2. What is the zip code for Udensi street

    Fortunate asked on

    We don't list a code for Udensi Street yet. Our Abakaliki pages cover areas such as Abakpa, which uses 480251, and Afikpo Rd., which uses 480271. Our codes are old 6-digit postal area codes that cover many streets, so they won't pinpoint one street. For the exact new postcode for a building, use the NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find.

  3. I can't find Hausa Quarters

    Miriam asked on

    We don't list Hausa Quarters in Abakaliki yet, so we have no old postcode for it. Our Abakaliki LGA page covers the areas we do list, such as Abakpa, which uses 480251. For a building-level code, check the official NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find, since this site doesn't list the new codes.

  5. Thank you so much for the information. What about Nsugbe Street? Is it same thing with NIPOST or Town Planning road?

    Oke asked on

    We don't list a code for Nsugbe Street in our data. The only street we have for Abakaliki is Town Planning Rd. in G.R.A, which uses legacy code 480241. That code covers a wider postal area, not one building, so it isn't the same as NIPOST's new postcode. For the exact new code for Nsugbe Street, use NIPOST's postcode finder. You can also read about this site to see how the codes work.

  6. What about ndiagu area. -nibo, nsukka, abagana, okeke, nwokpor, chukwu, igbokwe, aniekwe, nnewi, ezejiofor ajali. Ukpo streets etc?

    Philadelphia asked on

    We don't list a code for Ndiagu area yet, and our data doesn't cover the other streets you named (Nibo, Nsukka, Abagana, Okeke, Nwokpor, Chukwu, Aniekwe, Nnewi, Ezejiofor Ajali or Ukpo). The one Abakaliki street we have is Igbokwe St., which falls under Udensi St. with legacy postcode 480221; see Udensi St postcodes and the Ebonyi State page for other areas. For building-level codes, use https://postcode.gov.ng/find.
