She noted that the project reflects years of collaboration among government institutions, technical partners, and stakeholders committed to building a smarter and more connected Nigeria.

Wakili Adamu, who commended NIPOST and its partners for advancing a transformative initiative that aligns with the Federal Government’s vision of leveraging technology and innovation to strengthen security, improve service delivery, and drive inclusive national development.
As implementation progresses, the Digital Postcode System is set to become a critical enabler of Nigeria’s digital economy, providing the location intelligence required for smarter governance, enhanced service delivery, and a more secure and connected nation.
