Lagos Number Plate Codes & Their Local Governments – Do You Know Yours? by Odewaleadesoye(m): 7:45pm On Jan 29

Ever wondered what those three-letter codes on Lagos license plates mean? They are not random! Each one represents a specific Local Government Area (LGA).
Below is a quick breakdown:

SMK – Somolu

JJJ – Ojo

KJA – Ikeja

AAA – Lagos Island

FKJ – Ifako Ijaiye

AKD – Ibeju Lekki

LND – Lagos Mainland

KTU – Alimosho

BDG – Badagry

EKY – Eti-Osa

KRD – Ikorodu

EPE – Epe

MUS – Mushin

GGE – Agege

LSR – Surulere

LSD – Oshodi Isolo

KSF – Kosofe

AGL – Ajeromi Ifelodun

APP – Apapa

FST – Amuwo Odofin (Festac)

Why Does This Matter?
1. Security: Helps track stolen or suspicious vehicles.

2. Navigation: Instantly know where a vehicle is from.

3. Local Revenue: Tied to LGA vehicle registration.

Now that you know, which one is yours? Let’s discuss!

Southeast should continue with their inferiority complex by registering their vehicles in Lagos State and Abuja.

They don mock una for VAT, if you like redeem una self, if una no like, continue forming big boys.

How can AKD and AAA mean Ibeju Lekki and Lagos Island respectively? This is non-sequitor!

Edited:

Different, incoherent responses have been given as answers to my poser.

For AAA, I got:
Adetokunbo Ademola Avenue
Ademola Adeniji Adele

For AKD, I got:
Akodo
Akokodu

Let's even accept that one of the aforementioned is correct, question is: is Adetokunbo Ademola Avenue a local government in Lagos? Is Akokodu a local government in Lagos?
