EKY is from Ikoyi the capital (or headquarters) of Eti Osa LG. Letters that are close to figures (such as O, I) were avoided to avoid mix up.

You're wrong. It's Ikotun, headquarters of Alimosho LG
Re: Lagos State License Number Plate Codes & What They Mean by OlujobaSamuel: 3:28pm On Feb 09, 2018

Wrong information, OP.

Festac, Agege, Mushin, and Somolu are not LGs; so I don't know why added "LG" to them.
Also, "KTU", isn't Alimosho LG as you erroneously posted here. "KTU" is nearly literally "Ketu".
you are only right with festac, wrong on all others.
There is agege, mushin and shomolu lga, KTU is derived from Ikotun, Alimosho head of the lga.

Letters O and I are not included to prevent their being mistaken for 0 (Zero) and 1 (One) respectively
Consequently, the following towns with I and/or O are given special treatment...

IWO - WWN
IFE - FFE
IFON - FFN (Ondo State)
IFON - FNN (Osun State)
ILESA - LES
ONDO - NND
ORE - REE
OWO - WWW
OYO - YYY

etc

Thanks. But Warri has neither I nor O in its spelling yet they abbreviated it as WWR instead of WRR or simply WAR. Why?

You will be surprised that idiots that work in local government put this things together. People that cant correctly recite alphabets once.

No.
It is the abbreviation for IKOTUN, the capital (or headquarters) of Alimosho LG.

Then it should have been KTN as KTU would be easily mistaken for Ketu. It all shows that those who coined the abbreviations did not do a thorough job.
Re: Lagos State License Number Plate Codes & What They Mean by Jacseyi(m): 4:05pm On Feb 09, 2018
Authoreety:
What of the alphabets after the number?
ADK 452 AA and ADK 452 XA. ADK means Ado Èkìtì Local Government from Èkìtì state. AA means numbering in such a way for private it starts with AA and takes number from 01 to 999, then to AE, AE starts from 01 to 999 till AZ and then move to Letter B and so on. For commercial numbers ADK 452 XA. It starts from XA (01-999), then XB (01-999) and so on. This way you can identify the serial number of a particular number in a local government for either private or commercial. Eg, MUE 222 AE is number 1221 private number registered in Ekiti East local government, Omuo Èkìtì. This is how I got it. AA picks from 01 to 999, that's 999 cars, then moved to AE number 222 add together you get 1221. This is what I know about it
