TNK Plate Number Meaning: Mikang, Plateau
The TNK plate number is registered in Mikang Local Government Area, Plateau. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Mikang uses TNK. The 2006 census counted 97,411 residents over 739 km², near 132 for every square kilometre. Three letters, digits, then two letters: only the first group of a Nigerian plate is tied to a place. Everything else about the car comes from its chassis number.

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