Oyo State Postal Codes & Zip Codes: 2026 Official Directory
Oyo State, anchored by Ibadan—the largest city in West Africa by landmass—is Nigeria’s primary alternative to Lagos. Whether you are investing in the Moniya Rail Hub, developing luxury apartments in Alalubosa GRA, or setting up logistics in the Dry Port zone, having the correct 6-digit postal code is essential for OYGIS land titles, business incorporation, and e-commerce.

3. Real Estate Hotspots & Investment Trends 2026
Oyo’s 2026 property market is experiencing a "Lagos Exodus" as investors seek higher capital gains and better infrastructure.
The Circular Road Corridor (Ido/Akinyele/Egbeda)
The Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road is the most significant value driver in 2026. The government has cleared a 150-meter setback in built-up areas and a 500-meter corridor in greenfields for the Ilu-Tuntun Smart City. Properties along this route in Ajia and Ologuneru have seen 40% appreciation in the last 12 months.
Moniya: The Logistics Powerhouse (200132)
Driven by the Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge Railway and the Inland Dry Port, Moniya has become the "Lekki" of Ibadan North. In 2026, it is the top choice for land banking, logistics warehousing, and middle-income residential estates.
Alalubosa & Akala Express (200257)
Alalubosa GRA remains the luxury capital of Ibadan, with the highest rental yields for short-let apartments. Meanwhile, the Akala Express/Elebu axis continues to lead in demand for first-time homebuyers due to its modern gated estates and direct connection to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
