Sierra Leonean Zip Code

The Sierra Leonean ZIP Code System uses ZIP as an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan. This has the meaning that suggest the mail travels more efficiently and more quickly, when senders use it. The basic zip code is made up of five letters. In West Africa, in Sierra Leone, the use of daily mail is becoming more reliable for both official and day to day correspondence. This avoids the security hacking of E-Mails. This also ensures packages are delivers safely and securedly. The Zip Code table below shall be adopted by the Sierra Leone Mailing Authorities.

Invention

The Sierra Leonean ZIP code system was invented on the 17 June 2017 in Germany by Sir Prince Malcolm Agyapong-Nuni, a student studying at the University of Technology Dresden. This ZIP code System is a way of improving the technology roadmap suggested by the Nuni Technological Empire Unlimited Board of directors to enhance the safe transportation of Letter and Mails.

How to use the system

A one to one mapping is used. The first two numbers are the digits to the District code and the other three are the assigned digits to the Chiefdom Code/Municipality Code. Hence the five number Zipcode is a combination of the District Code and the Chiefdom Code/ Municipality Code.

E.g. 1 Bonthe Island

District Code- 03

Chiefdom Code/Municipality Code-030

Hence Bonthe Island Zip code is 03030.

E.g. 2 Biriwa- Kambai

District Code-02

Chiefdom Code/Municipality Code-016

Hence Biriwa- Kambai Zip code is 02016.

The extended Zip code is a bijective five digit ZIP with the international code as prefix. This is achieved by using the DistrictCode+0+ChiefdomCode.

Ex. 3 Newton

District Code-13

Chiefdom Code/Municipality Code-025

Hence the extended ZIP code for Newton is 23213025.

The following table reveals this.
