Bosun Tijani Announces Milsat as Developer of Digital Postcode

On October 1, 2026, the Federal Government launched Nigeria's National Digital Postcode system, with NIPOST operating the platform. Bosun Tijani, the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, identified Milsat, a Nigerian startup founded by Taslim Saluadeen and Adedamola Baderinwa, as the technology provider for the system.

Tijani noted that Milsat transitioned from a pilot project in 2023 to developing the national postcode technology, demonstrating the potential of Nigerian tech firms to create local infrastructure and expand internationally. Milsat's contributions included using geospatial technology for public-sector projects and assisting the National Population Commission in mapping over 65 million properties for Nigeria's first digital census.

Additionally, Milsat deployed enumeration area demarcation technology in Sierra Leone. Tijani acknowledged the roles of Meeds Network Limited and the National Population Commission in the project, emphasizing the ambition he wishes to see from Nigerian companies.
