About this opportunity
Built on Nigeria's Postcode is a showcase series run with NIPOST and 3MTT Nigeria for people building on the Digital Postcode API, which went live in Nigeria on 1 October 2026. Rather than a cash award round, the programme offers a live public session in front of the sector's decision makers.
Selected builders get five minutes to show their solution, then five minutes for questions from the Minister, the Postmaster General and invited guests. Introductions follow whenever a guest or viewer wants to continue the conversation, and every listed solution stays discoverable for future adoption.
The programme states that applications are reviewed as they come in. The feed post lists shortlisting rounds by sector, with the final round on 17 November 2026, and there is no single closing date printed on the provider page.
