MGU Plate Number Meaning: Mangu, Plateau
The MGU plate number is registered in Mangu Local Government Area, Plateau. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
MGU is the Mangu code, run from Mangu town. Around 294,931 residents were counted there in 2006 across 1,653 km², some 178 for every square kilometre. The letters follow the vehicle rather than the driver and survive every change of hands.

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