## About this plate

The ordinary Nigerian plate. Private and commercial are one series with two lettering colours. A Vehicle Identification Tag (Form MVA 25, reg. 38) carrying the same number is displayed on the rear windscreen, a second carrier of the registration, not a second series.

## About its years

2011 is the commonly-given first-issue year of the national uniform scheme and is NOT statutory, the instrument that gazettes the design is dated 2012 and does not state a rollout date. The 2012 regulations are the instrument in force over the format; the 2011 date describes issuance.
