    Gambo asked on

    The site lists no legacy 6-digit postcodes for Askira/Uba LGA, so I can't give you a code for it here. You can see the LGA page at Borno State postcodes for what is listed. For the newer building-level postcode, use the official NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find. This site cannot reply on WhatsApp.

    Mamman asked on

    Thanks for asking. We don't list a code for Abuja Sheraton, which is a hotel in the Federal Capital Territory. Our Abuja-area data covers Bama LGA in Borno State, not FCT. You can see all FCT codes on our Abuja (FCT) page. For the new building-level postcode, use the NIPOST lookup at https://postcode.gov.ng/find.

  5. Why I didn't see my street in hausari word Maiduguri Alhaji baba street hausari word Maiduguri

    Ibrahim asked on

    We don't list street-level entries yet. Our Maiduguri pages cover postal areas, and each old 6-digit code covers many streets, so a specific street like Alhaji Baba Street in Hausari Ward may not appear by name. You can browse the listed Maiduguri areas on Maiduguri LGA postcodes. For the new building-level postcode for your street, use NIPOST's postcode finder.

  9. I didn't see any code that has to do with Abuja Sheraton

    Emmanuel asked on

    We don't list a code for Abuja Sheraton on this site. Our Bama LGA entries (Abuja, Ajari, Bulabulin, Kaigamari, Kangeleri and Kasugula) are for areas in Bama, not the Sheraton hotel area in Abuja. Old 6-digit codes cover a postal area, not a single building. For a building-level code, use the NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find. You can also browse our Abuja (FCT) postcodes page.

    Shuaibu asked on

    Thanks for your question. We don't list a code for Zabarmari yet, so it isn't in the Maiduguri LGA list. You can see the areas we do cover on the Maiduguri LGA postcodes page, and for building-level new postcodes, use NIPOST at https://postcode.gov.ng/find.

    Mohammed asked on

    Thanks for checking. We don't list Fezzan Road in Maiduguri on this page, and our dataset doesn't include a code for it yet. The Maiduguri LGA page lists the old 6-digit postcodes for the areas we cover, such as Bolori (600281) and Bulabulin (600221). For a building-level postcode, please check https://postcode.gov.ng/find, which is run by NIPOST.
