Post offices in Lagos

Use NIPOST's own Post Office Finder: type an area name such as Ikeja, and it lists the post offices there. NIPOST doesn't publish a downloadable list, so we don't keep one.
NIPOST's network
NIPOST states on its post office structure page: "Presently, there are 955 Post Offices and over 3,000 Postal agencies throughout the Federation." The page is undated, so treat the figures as NIPOST's own description rather than a current count.
General Post Offices, Head Post Offices, Departmental Post Offices, Sub-Post Offices, Postal Agencies and mobile Post Offices. Each district has a Head Post Office (the controlling office). Sub-post offices are community-owned and run by non-NIPOST staff.
PO boxes and head office
NIPOST's homepage says: "You can now apply and get a post office box online."
NIPOST corporate office: Plot 1279 Muhammadu Buhari Way, PMB 12537 Garki 900001 (Abuja).
