DDM Plate Number Meaning: Dandume, Katsina
The DDM plate number is registered in Dandume Local Government Area, Katsina. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
DDM is issued in Dandume. About 145,739 people were recorded there in 2006 across 422 km², some 345 to the square kilometre. Codes name districts rather than towns, so every settlement inside the local government area registers under these letters.

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