LKJ Plate Number Meaning: Lokoja, Kogi
The LKJ plate number is registered in Lokoja 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.
Lokoja, run from Lokoja town, registers vehicles as LKJ. Its population was about 692,050 in 2020, across 3,180 km² — roughly 218 people to the square kilometre. The code is set at registration and stays with the vehicle from then on.

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