How to pick the right code
| 1 | Find the name of your town or area in the tables above. |
| 2 | Match it with the six-digit number beside it. |
| 3 | Write the town name, local government and state in your address. |
| 4 | Type the code with no spaces or dashes. |
Reading the number
The first digit, 4, belongs to the south-east. The next two, 20, point to the Awka zone. The final three digits separate one district from another, so two nearby areas can have codes that differ only in the last digit. Check that digit carefully.
Tips for senders
- Always add the area name next to the code, because a code alone does not give directions.
- Share a landmark and a phone number for the receiver.
- Use the code of the district where the person lives, not a neighbouring one.
- For official forms, confirm with the nearest post office, since lists are updated now and then.
