SHA Plate Number Meaning: Ifelodun, Kwara
The SHA plate number is registered in Ifelodun Local Government Area, Kwara. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Ifelodun, seat at Share, registers as SHA. The 2006 census counted 206,042 residents over 3,435 km², near 60 for every square kilometre. A code identifies where a registration was opened; the chassis number identifies the vehicle itself. Everything else about the car comes from its chassis number.

What SHA Plates Look Like
Counted from the 10 SHA 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 SHA Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so SHA places the paperwork in Ifelodun. 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 SHA plate away from Kwara 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.
