NCH Plate Number Meaning: Eleme, Rivers
The NCH plate number is registered in Eleme Local Government Area, Rivers. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
NCH is issued in Eleme, whose seat is at Ogale. The 2006 census put 190,884 residents on 138 km², about 1,383 for every square kilometre. A code identifies where a registration was opened; the chassis number is what identifies the car itself.

What NCH Plates Look Like
Counted from the 12 NCH plates we hold. It describes what we have seen, not the vehicle register — and the colour is the paint on the car, which is a different question from the colour of the plate itself. What plate colours mean

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

Which state is a NCH plate number from?
Rivers. The code identifies the local government area — Eleme — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
