WEL Plate Number Meaning: Iwajowa, Oyo
The WEL plate number is registered in Iwajowa 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.
Iwajowa registers as WEL. Around 102,980 people lived across its 2,529 km² in 2006, about 41 to the square kilometre. A code is set when the car is first papered and replaced only when it is registered in another district.

What the WEL Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so WEL places the paperwork in Iwajowa. 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 WEL 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.
