BUU Plate Number Meaning: Jos-South, Plateau
The BUU plate number is registered in Jos-South Local Government Area, Plateau. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
BUU marks Jos South, administered from Bukuru. Around 506,716 people lived across its 510 km² at the 2006 census, about 994 to the square kilometre. A plate lookup returns the district and the state behind three letters, and nothing about who owns the vehicle.

What the BUU Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so BUU places the paperwork in Jos-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 BUU plate away from Plateau 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.
Questions about the BUU plate number

Plateau. The code identifies the local government area — Jos-South — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
