How Lagos postal codes work
A Nigerian postal code has six digits. The first digit marks the region, the next two narrow it to a zone, and the last three point to the delivery district. Lagos is split across 20 Local Government Areas, and codes are assigned within them — which is why neighbouring areas like Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island (all in Eti-Osa) carry closely related codes, while Ikeja has its own.
Do you actually need a postal code in Lagos?
For everyday post and courier drop-offs, a clear street address and phone number usually matter more than the postal code. But you'll be asked for one when you shop online, register for cards or deliveries, complete official forms, or set up international shipping. The area code from the table above is accepted in almost all of these cases.
