BAS Plate Number Meaning: Bassa, Kogi
The BAS plate number is registered in Bassa Local Government Area, Kogi. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
BAS belongs to Bassa, whose seat is at Oguma. About 139,993 people were recorded there in 2006 across 1,925 km², some 73 to the square kilometre. A code is fixed at first registration and follows the vehicle through every later sale.

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