MKD Plate Number Meaning: Makurdi, Benue
The MKD plate number is registered in Makurdi Local Government Area, Benue. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Makurdi, run from Makurdi town, uses MKD. Around 517,342 people (2022) live across 937.40 km², some 552 for every square kilometre. Its plates turn up all over the country, because a code follows the vehicle rather than the address of its owner.

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