ARG Plate Number Meaning: Argungu, Kebbi
The ARG plate number is registered in Argungu Local Government Area, Kebbi. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Argungu, administered from Argungu town, registers vehicles as ARG, with about 47,064 residents recorded in 2007. Kebbi State uses twenty-one codes, one for each of its local government areas, and a car keeps the one it was papered under until it is registered elsewhere.

What the ARG Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so ARG places the paperwork in Argungu. 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 ARG plate away from Kebbi 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.
