LAM Plate Number Meaning: Olamaboro, Kogi
The LAM plate number is registered in Olamaboro 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.
LAM marks Olamaboro, whose council sits at Okpo. Around 160,152 people were counted there in 2006 across 1,132 km², near 141 to the square kilometre. Three letters, digits, then two letters — only the first group of a plate is a place.

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