TFA Plate Number Meaning: Tofa, Kano
The TFA plate number is registered in Tofa Local Government Area, Kano. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
TFA is issued in Tofa, administered from Tofa town. Around 97,734 people were counted there in 2006 across 202 km², about 484 for every square kilometre. The code is set with the registration and inherited by whoever buys the car next.

What the TFA Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so TFA places the paperwork in Tofa. 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 TFA plate away from Kano 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 TFA plate number
What does the TFA plate number mean?

Which state is a TFA plate number from?
Kano. The code identifies the local government area — Tofa — and the state is printed on the plate in words above the number.
