The answer is yes, the Nigerian Postal codes still functions regardless of the availability of email and internet/ social network. Other big companies like FEDEX, DHL, UPS, etc could not as well displace the Nigeria Postal Service. This is because NIPOST delivers goods and letters faster. NIPOST also issue out the P.O.BOX addresses which makes them even more significant.
