How an address is written in Nigeria

This is the order Nigeria's postal service expects. Square brackets mark what you replace.

[Recipient name]
[Street address]
[District]
[City] [Postal code (930283)]
[State]
NIGERIA

A postal code is optional in Nigeria addresses — mail is deliverable without one, though including it speeds up sorting.

Look up a specific address

For the code covering one particular street or building, Nigeria's postal service publishes an official finder: www.nigeriapostcodes.com. It is authoritative and kept current, which third-party copies often are not.
