LEW Plate Number Meaning: Ilesa West, Osun
The LEW plate number is registered in Ilesa West Local Government Area, Osun. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Ilesa West uses LEW. About 103,555 people were counted there in 2006 within 63 km² — the smallest by area of the Osun districts, at roughly 1,644 for every square kilometre. Its code is allocated on exactly the same terms as the largest district in the state.

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