Everyone in Nigeria has a location. Now every location has a postcode. Today, NIPOST launches the National Digital Postcode System, and I’m speaking to you from the heart of it: our new GIS lab, where every corner of Nigeria is being mapped and coded. No more “turn left after... the blue gate.” Your postcode connects you to deliveries, e-commerce, emergency services, banking and government services, wherever you are. After a successful pilot in Abuja, it’s now live nationwide. Know your postcode: Proud to lead the team building infrastructure that puts every Nigerian on the map. My deepest gratitude to President @officialasiwajubat for his vision and support under the Renewed Hope Agenda, and to the Hon. Minister Dr. 'Bosun Tijani , whose leadership in building Nigeria’s digital economy made this possible. Thank you to the NIPOST Nigerian Postal Service family, our partners, and every Nigerian who joined the exercise . This is national infrastructure built by Nigerians, for Nigerians. #KnowYourPostcode #NIPOST #DigitalPostcode #NigeriaAt66 #DigitalNigeria IndependenceDayshow more

And so it begins, Change never happens at once, it takes time I'm proud of you guys

Great! 👍 I have tried it out, and it seems accurate. Hope the generated postcodes will be reorganised when requested on international platforms. Hyphenated or non-hyphenated form?

This is comemnadable and kudos to the team. When will the postcode initiative be integrated into Google and Apple Maps for Nigeria? When will the Postcode App be available for download?

I just gave this a trial and found one of two houses. That's a start. Well done

Hello @hokage_toki Glad to hear you were able to find one of two houses. To accurately find your Digital Postcode using the Postcode by NIPOST App, it is important that location services/GPS is enabled on your device and you are physically present within the app’s permitted proximity/distance from the building for the location to be accurately detected. Simply open the app, allow it to access your device location, and follow the prompts to retrieve the Digital Postcode for your current location. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic, this is how nations move forward.

Wow, so happy to see this, congratulations to Nigeria. God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

One day we will look back and see how far we’ve come as a nation Happy Independence Day, Congratulations Postcodeng 🇳🇬

I’m a GIS Analyst with location intelligence knowledge of over 20years since my early years, it would be lovely to work in this setting. How can I join the team @Postcode_ng ?

Very lovely to see this. This is essentially part of new Nigeria.

This is commendable

Kudos. Found mine already

This is a wonderful development

Wow. It actually got my place.

If you want to be rich, ask Claude or them Ai for the companies that became wealthy when postcodes were introduced in their developed countries, what they did, the problems they solved, what difficulties they faced and how they solved it. let’s reciprocate what they did some of us might win. I pray I win too.

@_mohawwal Nicee one!

Sambisa forest must be goven a postcode

Omg! Congratulations Nigeria!!!

Love this!!

Google earth still doesn't have some new buildings

I’m reposting and sharing… I believe Nigeria is the Giant of Africa, and Nigeria will be the best it can be

A beautiful initiative and very commendable

This is a great development just curious if NIPOST can publish how many buildings have been mapped as at launch today

This works, I was able to find one of my buildings, and i made a postcode request for the second one. This is excellent 👌

I will check this out and share my product review expertise on improvements. Hope we can have a fruitful conversation.

Hello my house was given 2 postcodes

Hello Abdallah, Only a single postcode can be assigned to a building. Except in the case of a compound where there are other structures capable of receiving mails. For example; a compound with main building, gate house, BQ will have 3 Postcodes.

@Abdallahkabir11 Haba! He said his house has two post codes. That's a feedback to investigate, not read as-designed ideal to him.

@Postcode_ng @Abdallahkabir11 I think the response might actually be correct for the question asked. I can see two post codes for my address too, so I have a better understanding why that is so from that response.

@EmmanuelEmielu @Postcode_ng Yes i understand

What about a townhouse? One building with up to eight units in a single row.

found mine, this is super awesome man...

This is actually nice

No one will attribute this to Tinubu but let a bad thing happen in Zamfara, it will be Tinubu . All of u are bastards.

When will it be available on AppStore?

I found my Postcode oh. Thank you. This is very innovative, makes location easy. Thumbs up 👍

I think this could have been better. I have tried it and right now its is a very good start!!! Commendable!!!

Osun state not included?
