Questions from readers
Readers' questions about this page, answered from our own postcode data. We never look up or give new 11-character building codes: use postcode.gov.ng/find for those.
Why not include g.r.a Gusau ?
We don't list a separate code for G.R.A Gusau on this page yet. The Gusau LGA page covers six areas, including Bye Pass, Emir's Palace, Janyau, Magaji, Tudun Wada and Ungumar Dawaki, each with its own legacy 6-digit code. You can see them all on Gusau postcodes. Old 6-digit codes cover a postal area, not a single building. For the new building-level code for a specific address, use https://postcode.gov.ng/find.
