Check the database on landings.com and they show VR as another ICAO
recognized prefix for Nigeria. It may be that the VR's are being
phased out or converted to 5N's over time though.


FAA Handbook 7340.1 shows VP, VQ, and VR to be used by UK colonies and
protectorates. While Nigeria is a former British colony, it has been
indepndent since 1960. One would think 43 years to be sufficient time to
phase them out.
