The main Umuahia code
General Post Office code
440001
Use this for the city centre. Some neighbourhoods carry their own number in the 4402 series.
Areas such as Ibeku and Afaraukwu sit inside Umuahia North, so a form may ask for a neighbourhood code instead of the general one. When that happens, check the number with the post office before you submit.
