AAB Plate Number Meaning: Abeokuta-South, Ogun

The AAB plate number is registered in Abeokuta-South Local Government Area, Ogun. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.

Nigerian number plate with the AAB code — Abeokuta-South, Ogun
A plate issued in Abeokuta-South carries the AAB code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

AAB is issued in Abeokuta South, the district administered from Ake Abeokuta. About 250,278 residents were counted there in 2006 within 71 km² — roughly 3,525 for every square kilometre, and the most densely populated district in Ogun State. It is also the smallest by area, which changes nothing about its code.

What the AAB Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so AAB places the paperwork in Abeokuta-South. It does not follow the car afterwards: a vehicle sold across state lines keeps its plate until it is re-registered, which is why a AAB plate away from Ogun is a question for the seller rather than a finding in itself.

The letters also say nothing about the holder, the model or the history of the vehicle. Colours and special series are a separate system, explained on the code hub; what the car itself has been through — auction lots, damage, mileage at sale — is recorded against its VIN and travels with the car even when the plate changes.

Questions about the AAB plate number

What does the AAB plate number mean?

AAB is the registration code of Abeokuta-South Local Government Area in Ogun. A vehicle wearing it was registered there; the three digits after the letters are its serial inside that LGA, and the last two letters are the series.

Which state is a AAB plate number from?

Ogun. The code identifies the local government area — Abeokuta-South — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.

Have a whole AAB plate, not just the code?

The lookup takes the full plate and returns the local government area behind it. For the history of the vehicle — auction records, damage, mileage and photographs — check it by VIN.
