The Federal Executive Council has approved a new Alphanumeric Digital Postcode System to improve Nigeria’s addressing system.
According to the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, the system will assign unique digital location codes to homes and businesses across the country to make locations easier to identity.
The initiative will be implemented with the Nigerian Postal Service and is expected to improve mail delivery, e-commerce, emergency response, and public xservice delivery nationwide.
