PKG Plate Number Meaning: Okpokwu, Benue
The PKG plate number is registered in Okpokwu 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.
Okpokwu, seat at Okpoga, registers as PKG. Around 176,647 people were counted in 2006 across 731 km², roughly 242 for every square kilometre. The code is part of the registration record and can be checked long after the sale it survived.

What the PKG Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so PKG places the paperwork in Okpokwu. 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 PKG 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.
