BDJ Plate Number Meaning: Ibadan-North, Oyo
The BDJ plate number is registered in Ibadan-North Local Government Area, Oyo. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Ibadan North, seat at Bodija, registers as BDJ. Its population was about 856,988 in 2017, within 22 km² — roughly 38,954 people to the square kilometre. The code is issued once, at registration, and is not affected by any of that arithmetic.

What the BDJ Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so BDJ places the paperwork in Ibadan-North. 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 BDJ plate away from Oyo 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.
