DAV Plate Number Meaning: Adavi, Kogi
The DAV plate number is registered in Adavi 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.
Adavi registers as DAV. The 2006 census counted 202,194 residents over 718 km², roughly 282 for every square kilometre. The code is replaced only by re-registration in another district; a change of owner leaves it exactly as it was. A sale changes the owner, never the district on the plate.

What the DAV Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so DAV places the paperwork in Adavi. 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 DAV 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.
