List of Postal Codes in FCT, Abuja

Postal codes are numerical codes used to identify specific geographical areas within a country. These codes help in sorting and delivering mail by indicating precise locations.

Postal codes are important for efficient mail distribution, helping postal services and couriers deliver items quickly and accurately.

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of Abuja's postal code system, including its structure and a breakdown by local government areas (LGAs).

Abuja's postal codes consist of six digits.
