LEM Plate Number Meaning: Oyun, Kwara
The LEM plate number is registered in Oyun Local Government Area, Kwara. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Oyun, seat at Ilemona, registers vehicles as LEM. Around 94,253 people were counted there in 2006 across 476 km², about 198 to the square kilometre. Two cars papered here on the same day carry these letters and differ in the serial that follows.

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