  2. Dan Alhaji [removed] zip code. Zaria

    Danalhaji asked on

    Dan Alhaji Street in Barnawa Village is listed under Kaduna State with the old 6-digit postcode 800242, but the street is not confirmed in Zaria, so we can't say it is part of Zaria. The Zaria page lists these codes: 810211, 810212 and 810221, each covering a different postal area. Please check the street's location, and for the building-level postcode use NIPOST's postcode finder. See Zaria postcodes for the full list.
