TWD Plate Number Meaning: Tudun-Wada, Kano
The TWD plate number is registered in Tudun-Wada 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.
TWD marks Tudun Wada, seat at Tudun Wada town, with 376,100 residents recorded in 2006. The letters are fixed when a vehicle is first papered and follow it afterwards, so a plate checked years later still points back to the district that issued it.

What the TWD Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so TWD places the paperwork in Tudun-Wada. 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 TWD 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 TWD plate number
