EGB Plate Number Meaning: Egbeda, Oyo
The EGB plate number is registered in Egbeda 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.
Egbeda, administered from Egbeda town, uses EGB. The 2006 census counted 281,573 residents across 191 km², near 1,474 for every square kilometre. The code is replaced only by re-registration in another district; a sale leaves it exactly as it was.

What EGB Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 EGB plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

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