Osun State is one of the southwestern states in Nigeria, known for its rich culture, history, and cities like Osogbo, Ile-Ife, and Ilesa. To ensure efficient mail delivery across the state, postal codes are used to identify specific locations. This guide explains what postal codes are, how Osun postal codes are structured, and provides a list by Local Government Areas (LGAs).
What Are Postal Codes?
Postal codes, sometimes called ZIP codes, are six-digit numbers assigned to specific geographic areas for easy identification during mail and parcel delivery. In Nigeria, postal codes are issued and managed by the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST).
Using the correct postal code helps postal services and courier companies sort and deliver items accurately, reducing delays and misdelivery.
