ANA Plate Number Meaning: Calabar-South, Cross River
The ANA plate number is registered in Calabar-South Local Government Area, Cross River. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
ANA belongs to Calabar South, whose council sits at Anantigha. About 191,630 people were recorded there in 2006 across 264 km², some 726 to the square kilometre. Cross River registers vehicles under eighteen codes, one for each of its local government areas.

What ANA Plates Look Like
Counted from the 14 ANA plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

What the ANA Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so ANA places the paperwork in Calabar-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 ANA plate away from Cross River 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.
