00:00Imagine how stressful it is for most Nigerians when they are trying to coordinate with a dispatch
00:05rider just because they can't locate their specific address. That's why Nigeria launched
00:11the 11-digit postcode on the 1st of October, 2026. It fixes logistics because it gives every
00:18address a verifiable identity. Beyond logistics, this is going to help with emergency services
00:25and whatnot as far as verifiable location is concerned. Nigeria has built rails that made
00:32it easy for individuals to be verifiable. We call that the NIN. With the bank, we have the BVN.
00:40This verifiable identity makes it possible for you to identify people better. With the new postcode,
00:48you are also able to identify and verify locations very easily. The combination of these three
00:54identities are going to become super tools to improve how businesses and people can be identified
01:02within their various locations. But when you look at it, BVN and NIN became compost-free and that is how
01:09adoption grew. However, it is difficult to make anyone adopt the new postcode. So how this new
01:16technology is going to scale would totally depend on the initiatives by the NIN post, other concerned
01:23businesses. But there is something we can all take away. When every building becomes verifiable,
01:28it becomes pretty easy to improve logistics, healthcare, and other social amenities in Nigeria.
