MEK Plate Number Meaning: Imeko-Afon, Ogun

The MEK plate number is registered in Imeko-Afon Local Government Area, Ogun. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.

What the MEK Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so MEK places the paperwork in Imeko-Afon. 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 MEK plate away from Ogun 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 MEK plate number

What does the MEK plate number mean?

MEK is the registration code of Imeko-Afon Local Government Area in Ogun. 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 MEK plate number from?

Ogun. The code identifies the local government area — Imeko-Afon — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.

Have a whole MEK plate, not just the code?

The lookup takes the full plate and returns the local government area behind it. For the history of the vehicle — auction records, damage, mileage and photographs — check it by VIN.
