Katsina State Postal Codes (ZIP Codes) – Complete List of All LGAs and Areas

Katsina State is located in northwestern Nigeria and shares an international border with the Republic of Niger. Its capital is Katsina City, and the state is home to over 6 million people. Katsina was created in 1987 after being carved out of Kaduna State. It is known for its rich history, cultural heritage, agriculture, and educational institutions.

The state comprises 34 Local Government Areas (LGAs), with major cities like Katsina, Daura, Funtua, and Malumfashi. Katsina plays a significant role in Nigeria’s economy through farming (grains, cotton, groundnut), trade, education, and its position as the birthplace of two former Nigerian presidents—Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Muhammadu Buhari.

Katsina State borders Kaduna and Kano States to the south, Jigawa to the east, Zamfara to the west, and Niger Republic to the north.

Understanding Nigeria’s Postal Code System

Nigeria does not use ZIP codes. Instead, it operates a 6-digit postal code system managed by the Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST). These postal codes help in accurate mail delivery, location identification, and efficient logistics. In Katsina State, every Local Government Area (LGA) and district has its own designated postal code.
