The National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System will stand alongside Project BRIDGE, our 90,000km fibre infrastructure programme; NUCAP, which will connect over 20 million Nigerians through 3,700 telecommunications towers; the Nigeria Data Exchange; and our efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s AI ecosystem as one of the top five among many defining legacy initiatives of this administration that we have worked on over the last three years.
That is why I was pleased to join the Postmaster General/CEO of
@NipostNgn,
@tola_odeyemi, and stakeholders from across our security agencies for a workshop focused on the practical application of the digital postcode as a critical layer for security coordination and emergency response across Nigeria.
The Postcode System will assign every location in the country a unique, machine-readable, and geographically anchored digital address. Beyond improving mail delivery, it will strengthen emergency response, enhance national security operations, improve address verification, support more efficient logistics and e-commerce, and enable more effective delivery of public services.
As we continue to build the digital foundations of our economy, it is important that every person, business, and location can be accurately identified and connected within a modern digital ecosystem. We will continue engaging other stakeholder groups over the coming months, and I look forward to the official launch of the postcode system in October and to seeing the transformative impact it will have across our economy and society.
