LMU Plate Number Meaning: Gbako, Niger
The LMU plate number is registered in Gbako Local Government Area, Niger. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
LMU belongs to Gbako. The 2006 census put 127,466 residents on 1,753 km², about 73 for every square kilometre. Codes are not batches or years of issue, so an old plate decodes to the same district as a new one.

No holder name appears here, and none ever will: the Federal Road Safety Corps does not release registration holders to the public, so neither do we.

What the LMU Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so LMU places the paperwork in Gbako. 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 LMU plate away from Niger 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.
Questions about the LMU plate number
What does the LMU plate number mean?
LMU is the registration code of Gbako Local Government Area in Niger. A vehicle wearing it was registered there; the three digits after the letters are its serial inside that LGA, and the last two letters are the series.
Which state is a LMU plate number from?
Niger. The code identifies the local government area — Gbako — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
