RSD Plate Number Meaning: Surulere, Oyo
The RSD plate number is registered in Surulere Local Government Area, Oyo. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
RSD belongs to Surulere, whose seat is at Iresadu. The 2006 census counted 142,070 residents across 975 km², some 146 for every square kilometre. The code is a registration fact and survives every sale the vehicle goes through. The code was issued with the papers and outlives most of them.

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