Borno State is located in the northeastern region of Nigeria. The Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST) assigned a specific postal code to the headquarters of Borno State, which is 600001. However, each L.G.A., town, and street within the state has its own distinct postal code.

What is the Postal Code and Zip code?
The terms “postal code” and “zip code” are often used interchangeably, but they have distinct meanings. A postal code is a series of numbers or a combination of numbers and letters that help postal departments and courier services determine the precise location and region where mail must be delivered. On the other hand, a zip code is a similar system used primarily in the United States. In Nigeria, including Borno State, the term “postal code” is more commonly used.
