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

AAA is Ademola Adetokunbo Avenue in Lagos Island.

Very incorrect. AGL is Agulu.

AGL is Ajegunle

EKY - Eti Osa, Ikoyi

I thought "KTU" is "Ketu", seeing Alimosho is surprising. We learn everyday!

Ikotun is the headquarters of Alimosho LGA

Those letters are respective LGA headquarters.

Is like they purposely named them like that to confused people
because how can GGE be Agege instead of AGG
or LSR be Surulere instead of say SRL or SLR

I used to think so too. KTU is short form of Ikotun where Alimosho local government headquarters is located. Same pattern for Amuwo Odofin (Festac - FST), Lagos Island (Adekunle Adeniji Adele -AAA), Ajeromi Ifelodun (Ajegunle - AGL), Ibeju Lekki (Akodo - AKD)

Nigerians, lets unite and voice out why our number plates are always fading and scraping off. This is very embarrassing tbh.

I have traveled to many African countries, not to mention Europe and America and I don't see vehicle number plates peeling like our own. FRSC is useless, I swear. These plate numbers are not cheap and they can't give us something that's durable. The worst part is that everybody is just keeping quiet.

I was able to deduce the reason as thus: In Nigeria, the authorities just put a sticker on the metallic number plate during finishing. These stickers are prone to weather degradation and wear. Whereas, in saner climes, they directly coat the metallic plates with durable autobase paints. Is this too hard for us to dooooo?

Information is power . Just like several other people, I thought KTU is Ketu. I had wanted to draw the attention of the writer until I saw KSF
which is Kosofe. Another information I found useful is AKD - Ibeju / Lekki

You are right! I know that of KTU because my first can had that and I be Ikotun boy. I used to be a dango driver in Ikotun as a side hustle between 2003-2007.
