    Juliet asked on

    We don't list a postcode for Yoruba Road in Sabon Gari, Kano State. The Sabon Gari entries we have are a street in Ungogo LGA and an area in Kano, so please check the Kano State page for the full list of areas and LGAs. For the building-level postcode of a specific address, use the NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find.
