How Plateau postcodes are grouped
The first three digits group neighbouring LGAs. Codes starting 930 cover Jos and its immediate surroundings (Jos North, Jos South, Jos East and Bassa). 931 covers Barkin Ladi and Riyom to the south-west, 932 Mangu and Bokkos, 933 Pankshin and Kanke, 940 Shendam, Mikang and Qua’an Pan, 941 the Langtangs, and 942 Kanam and Wase in the south-east. If you know a nearby town’s code, yours probably shares its first three digits. Our guide to Nigeria’s zip code system explains the national structure.

Tips for accurate deliveries
- Double-check the LGA. Rayfield and Bukuru are in Jos South, not Jos North; the codes differ.
- Add a landmark: a church, mosque, school, filling station or junction near your gate.
- Use one address format across your online accounts so couriers see the same details every time.
- Track your item with the carrier’s tracking number; see our package tracking guide.
- For businesses, save customer postcodes with their addresses to cut failed deliveries.
