Details
The data cannot be downloaded in bulk. The post code search service http://www.nigeriapostcodes.com/index.php/welcome/getUrbanPostCode returns a post code and zooms in at city level using Google Maps, but no geolocation specific information.
Reviewer comments
Post code search service does not comply with 2015 index requirements. There is no indication that the dataset used in the post code search is geo-coded. Considering that the post code structure takes into consideration streets, the geo-coding operation is not a simple task.
