KAL Plate Number Meaning: Katsina-Ala, Benue
The KAL plate number is registered in Katsina-Ala Local Government Area, Benue. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
KAL is issued in Katsina-Ala, seat at Katsina Ala. The 2006 census counted 224,718 residents over 2,402 km², roughly 94 to the square kilometre. Codes are assigned per local government area and are not recycled between them. That makes the code a stable marker of where a registration was opened.

What KAL Plates Look Like
Counted from the 10 KAL 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 KAL Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so KAL places the paperwork in Katsina-Ala. 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 KAL plate away from Benue 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.
