ZKW Plate Number Meaning: Zangon-Kataf, Kaduna
The ZKW plate number is registered in Zangon-Kataf Local Government Area, Kaduna. Those three letters record where the vehicle was first put on the road — not who drives it, and not where it is today.
Zangon Kataf, seat at Zonkwa, issues ZKW. The 2006 census put 318,991 residents on 2,579 km², about 124 for every square kilometre. Each local government area in Kaduna has exactly one code, and a plate carries the one it was issued under.

What the ZKW Code Does and Does Not Tell You
A Nigerian plate carries the code of the local government area that issued the registration, so ZKW places the paperwork in Zangon-Kataf. 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 ZKW plate away from Kaduna 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.
