PKA Plate Number Meaning: Ipokia, Ogun

The PKA plate number is registered in Ipokia 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.

Nigerian number plate with the PKA code — Ipokia, Ogun
A plate issued in Ipokia carries the PKA code. The characters after it are a sample, not a real registration.

Ipokia registers as PKA. The 2006 census recorded 150,426 residents over 629 km², some 239 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.

What the PKA Code Does and Does Not Tell You

A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so PKA places the paperwork in Ipokia. 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 PKA 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 PKA plate number

What does the PKA plate number mean?

PKA is the registration code of Ipokia 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 PKA plate number from?

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

Have a whole PKA 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.
