BNJ Plate Number Meaning: Binji, Sokoto
The BNJ plate number is registered in Binji Local Government Area, Sokoto. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
BNJ belongs to Binji, whose seat is at Binji town. The 2006 census put 105,027 residents on 559 km², near 188 for every square kilometre. A code is fixed at first registration and follows the vehicle through every later sale.

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