ADDRESS NIGERIA
NDAS · AIG-CTG
National Digital Addressing System · Address & Identity Granularity — Codes, Tiles & Grids
Role & explanation
ADDRESS NIGERIA is the entry point and foundational layer of the entire GRANDVIEW GRIDS (G2) ecosystem. It implements the Location-based National Digital Addressing System (N-DAS) — a deterministic, algorithmically generated address for every person, place, and asset in Nigeria.
Nigeria is divided into 102 billion 3m × 3m ultra-specific grid tiles. Every tile carries a unique AIG-CTG code structured as: Country (NG) · State (LA) · LGA (IKJ) · 5-digit Unique Identifier (00426). Codes are generated algorithmically, unlike postcode systems that require a database lookup, GRANDVIEW GRIDS (G2) codes are computed from coordinates alone. No database lookup required.
The system is LGA-centric and federated across all 774 Local Government Areas, 8,809 Wards, 176,864 Polling Units, 36 States, 12 River Basin Development Authorities, 6 Geopolitical Zones, and 1 Sovereign Nigeria.
Key capabilities
- Deterministic AIG-CTG code generation — no database lookup required
- Covers 102 billion 3m × 3m ultra-specific grid tiles nationwide
- Short address format: NG-LA-IKJ-00426 (Country · State · LGA · 5-digit UID)
- LGA-centric tessellation , federated, no single point of failure
- Reverse geocoding API for legacy address conversion
- Coverage grid across all 176,864 Polling Units and 8,809 Wards
