Launching Nigeria’s National Digital Alphanumeric Postcode System is the first step.
Its true impact will come as we weave it into how we live, do business, connect with one another and deliver services across every corner of our country.
Every postcode should mean something tangible: a customer reached, a delivery completed, a community better served, or emergency help arriving where it is needed.
In the days, weeks and months ahead, my office will work with @NipostNgn and key actors across government, business and the technology community to embed this new national asset in our everyday lives.
So to our developers and innovators, let’s build on it.
The API ( You can find documentation here - https://t.co/PFrEDDiCL3) provides a foundation for integrating the postcode into the products and services Nigerians use every day.
So go on and register your organisation: https://t.co/ESLWQuJRIT and start building.
To access the API:
1. Create an organisation account.
2. Submit your Know Your Business (KYB) documentation.
3. Request API access, specifying the access level you need.
4. Receive staging tokens to develop and test your integration.
5. Complete User Acceptance Testing (UAT) with NIPOST’s technical and compliance teams, where required.
6. Receive production tokens and go live.
I also want to hear your ideas.
How can we embed the alphanumeric postcode in commerce, transport, healthcare, agriculture, emergency response and community life?
What would you build, and what problem would it solve?
IF YOU DIED TOMORROW, YOUR FAMILY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ACCESS A SINGLE THING YOU OWN DIGITALLY.
BANK ACCOUNTS. PASSWORDS. CLOUD STORAGE. ALL OF IT PERMANENTLY LOCKED AWAY.
HERE'S HOW TO FIX IT IN 30 MINUTES:
@Inevitablewest An important note to make, Ceuta is part of Spain politically, but it sits on the African continent, separated from mainland Spain by roughly 18 miles of water.
The vision is clear.
Argentina beats Spain on Sunday and lifts the World Cup ⚽️
If I be a prophet, Messi will lift the World Cup for the second time & win Golden boot & Golden ball ⚽️
🚨 BREAKING:
Spain has officially banned entry to its territory for all individuals directly involved in the genocide, human rights violations, and war crimes in Gaza.
Dear Chinedu @GRVlagos
I have no interest in descending into the mudslinging and distractions you appear to thrive on. My focus remains on the important work before us - supporting the efforts of the Lagos State Government to ensure the safety, well-being, and prosperity of Lagosians.
If being committed to public service, good governance, and the protection of the interests and heritage of Lagosians is what you choose to describe as bigotry, then I make NO APOLOGIES for standing firmly by those principles. Public service is not a tea party - but how can you know what it entails? Nemo dat quod non habet.
For the sake of clarity, I would advise you, in your saner moments, to acquaint yourself with my record in public service - from my appointment as Special Adviser on Education to Mr. Governor in 2019 to my present tour of duty at the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources. The record is public, and it speaks for itself.
As for the labels and accusations, I will leave others to judge them on their merits. I have no intention of engaging in personal attacks or trading insults with a political nomad driven by ignorance and needless hatred.
I wish you all the best.
