Nigeria’s Federal Government relaunches the long-delayed digital postcode project after more than two decades and begins integrating it with the National Identification Number (NIN). Multiple outlets report that the initiative is formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding between the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), signed in Abuja. NIMC’s Director-General Abisoye Coker-Odusote and NIPOST’s Postmaster General Tola Odeyemi are named as signatories. Sources say the digital postcode retrieval function has already been incorporated into the NIN platform, enabling Nigerians to verify addresses and retrieve digital postcodes from a single trusted source. The accounts also describe NIN as an identity component and postcodes as a location identifier. NIPOST is presented as an additional front-end enrolment partner licensed to support NIN registration at post offices nationwide. The outlets further report that, once fully implemented, every standing structure in Nigeria will receive a unique GIS-enabled, machine-readable location identifier. Coverage states that the project receives full Federal Government funding for the first time and is intended to improve access to government services, financial products, healthcare, education, logistics, and emergency response.
