Lafia postal code FAQs
What is the postal code for Lafia?
Is 950102 the same as the new postcode?
No. 950102 is a 6-digit area code. The new 11-character postcode (for example LA 01 A03 FK 01) identifies a single building, and there is no conversion table between the two. Find a building's new code on postcode.gov.ng. Old vs new postcode.
Which code do I enter on online forms?
If a form asks for a "postal code" or "ZIP code" and doesn't mention NIPOST's digital postcode, enter the 6-digit code for your area. Use the new code only when the form asks for it. Which postcode to put on online forms.

Questions from readers

I'm in Lafia after flyover Makurdi road adjacent nagoda filling station
Thanks for reaching out. Our Lafia page lists old 6-digit postal area codes for several areas, such as Abu, Achigogo, Adogi, Agbulagu and Akura, which use 950102. We don't have a street-level entry for the Makurdi Road flyover area, and one code covers many streets. For the exact building postcode, use the NIPOST finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find. You can see the full list on the Lafia postcodes page.
