The Nigerian Communications Commission is charged with the development of the pdf National Numbering Plan (465 KB) for the Nigerian telephone network (both fixed and wireless) and ensuring the allocation of unique national numbers to each subscriber connected to the network.
The purpose of the National Numbering Plan is to set up a uniform numbering scheme and the associated dialing procedures to be used in the network to allow the subscribers and operators to set up calls.
The National Numbering Plan provides, more importantly, a uniform dialing procedure for the following types of calls:
- Local Calls
- National Long Distance Calls
- International Calls
- Calls to Emergency and Special services independent of where the call is originating from in the country.
This section is updated regularly to reflect updates and reviews carried out on the National Numbering schemes of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Numbering
Terminology
The following is a listing of numbering terms and their meanings.
|
A plan for allocation of a unique National Number to each subscriber connected to the national telephone system. |
||||||||||||||
|
A part of the country to which a Trunk Code (or area code) has been allocated, and within that area only the Directory Numbers are dialed. |
||||||||||||||
|
The code “0” has been allotted as the Trunk Prefix for automatic national dialing. Trunk Prefix is defined as the digit or a combination of digits to be dialed by a calling subscriber so as to obtain access to a trunk code and the numbering area. |
||||||||||||||
|
A digit or a combination of two digits identifying the called Numbering Area within the country. e.g. “82 " for Aba numbering Area “1 " for Lagos Numbering Area The prefix “0 ” is not part of this code. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the subscriber’s telephone number, which is to be dialed to reach a subscriber in the same Numbering Area. It may consist of 5, 6 or 7 digits. e.g. "2691522" - Ikoyi Hotel, Lagos |
||||||||||||||
|
Trunk Code and the subscriber telephone number taken together. e.g. "1-2691522" - Ikoyi Hotel, Lagos. The maximum length of the National number is limited to 8 digits for Nigeria (i.e. Trunk Code plus subscriber Number) in the present 11-n numbering plan format. | ||||||||||||||
|
The international code is "009" | ||||||||||||||
|
A combination of one or two or three digits for identifying the called country. e.g. Country code for Nigeria is "234" while the Country code for Federal Republic of Germany is "49". |
||||||||||||||
|
The number to be dialed following the International Prefix to obtain a subscriber in another country. The International number consists of the country code of the required country followed by the National number of the called subscriber, but does not include the Trunk prefix used in the national network of the called subscriber. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the first one, two or three digits of the subscribers Telephone number (i.e. the Directory Number) which is made use of for identifying the Telephone Exchange to which the subscriber’s Telephone is connected, e.g. "269" for Ikoyi Telephone Exchange "497 " for Ikeja Telephone Exchange. This code is made use of for routing calls between Exchanges within the same numbering area. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the Exchange to which the subscriber lines are connected. | ||||||||||||||
|
It is the Trunk switching centre of the lowest hierarchy to which Local Exchanges are connected for transmitting of subscriber Trunk Dialing (S.T.D) calls. The charge determination for S.T.D. calls normally takes place in the Primary Centre. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the area served by a Primary switching centre. It may be co-terminus with a single Numbering Area or may cover several adjoining numbering areas. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the trunk-switching centre of higher hierarchy for transiting of traffic between primary centres. It carries only overflow traffic between Primary centres if direct high usage routes are provided between them. |
||||||||||||||
|
It is the area served by a Secondary centre. It covers several Primary areas depending on the number of Primary centres connected to that particular Secondary centre. |
||||||||||||||
|
The subscriber number is that part of the National (significant) Number which follows the Area code. It identifies the subscriber inside his numbering Area. By adding the Area code, the number becomes unique inside Nigeria and forms the National (significant) Number. The combination of this National (Significant) Number with the Country Code identifies the subscriber unambiguously all over the world. |
||||||||||||||
|
National Calls - National (Significant) Number
International Calls - International Number
Border Communication
|
Dialing
Procedure
The following is the procedure for dialing various destinations in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
|
Dial Directory Number of the wanted subscriber. It may consist of five (5) digits as in the Wukari Area or six (6) digits as in Enugu Area, or seven (7) digits as in Abuja Area. |
|||||||||
|
Dial Trunk Prefix "0 " followed by the Trunk Code of the called numbering area, and followed by the Directory number of the wanted subscriber. In other words, dial trunk prefix "0" followed by the National number of the wanted subscriber as shown below;
|
|||||||||
|
For subscriber dialing international traffic, the International Trunk ("009") prefix is dialed followed by the country code for the destination country and then the wanted subscriber’s national number.
|
|||||||||
|
For example, from Germany to a subscriber in Ibadan (Nigeria);
|
|||||||||
|
For border calls from Katsina to Maradi (Niger Republic) and Sokoto to Birnin Nkoni (Niger Republic) the prefix "9" has to be dialed from the subscribers of Katsina or Sokoto. After the Prefix "9" the subscriber number of the subscriber of Niger Republic follows. |
