Port Harcourt postal code
Port Harcourt is the capital of Rivers State. The general post-office code commonly associated with the NIPOST headquarters in the city is 500001. However, Port Harcourt and the surrounding metropolitan area contain multiple delivery districts. The GPO code should not be assumed to apply to every neighbourhood.
Ahoada and Abua postal codes
Ahoada is listed with 510101, while Abua is associated with 510102. Other communities in the wider area may have their own delivery allocations. Include the actual town or settlement when preparing an address.
Bonny and coastal delivery areas
Bonny is associated with postal code 503101. Other riverine communities, including Abonnema and Buguma, have separate listed codes. Because delivery locations can be spread across islands and waterways, a complete community and address description is particularly useful.
Eleme, Gokana and Khana
Ogale is listed with 501101, while Bodo is associated with 501103. Bori, in Khana, is listed with 502101. These entries demonstrate why the Port Harcourt GPO code should not be used as a universal Rivers State postal code.
Degema, Buguma and Isiokpo
Degema, Buguma and Isiokpo have different postal-code references. The correct number depends on the destination town or delivery district. If the address is in a smaller settlement, confirm its code rather than selecting one from a nearby town.
How to use Rivers State postal codes
- Identify the exact town, island or neighbourhood.
- Enter the matching six-digit postal code.

- Provide a reachable phone number for parcel delivery.
Traditional postal codes and digital postcodes
The codes shown in this guide are traditional six-digit postal codes. A digital postcode is a separate location identifier designed for more precise address matching. Use the format specifically requested by the form or delivery provider.
Confirming a Rivers State address
