    Thanks for asking. This page covers Sokoto North LGA, where the only area we list is Runjin Sambo, with the old 6-digit postcode 840244. An old code covers a whole postal area, not a single building. If you need the exact code for your street or building, use the official NIPOST finder at postcode.gov.ng/find or the NIPOST Postcode app. You can also see all our Sokoto State codes on the state page.

    Sokoto North LGA has one area listed on our site: Runjin Sambo, which uses old postal code 840244. We don't have a separate code for Kofar Rini, so this code may be the one that covers your area. Old 6-digit codes cover a whole postal area rather than one building. For your exact building-level postcode, use the official finder at https://postcode.gov.ng/find. See Sokoto North postcodes.
