Police Extend Deadline For Tinted Glass Permit Enforcement To August 12
The Nigeria Police Force has extended the deadline for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement to August 12, 2025.
According to a statement issued on Saturday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the extension was approved by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, in response to public feedback.
The Force explained that the decision followed numerous concerns raised by Nigerians about the reactivation of the digital permit application process.
“The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved an extension of the grace period for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement to the 12th of August, 2025,” the statement read.
It added that citizens’ feedback has guided ongoing reviews aimed at making the application process more user-friendly, secure, and accessible.
“This extension comes on the heels of several concerns and feedback expressed by members of the public. The Force wishes to affirm that it has not ignored the voices of Nigerians,” it noted.
“The extension of enforcement is also intended to give room for additional enhancements and refinements to the application process, ensuring that no member of the public is unduly disadvantaged.”
The Police said efforts are ongoing to simplify both physical and digital application methods, including improved verification and streamlined procedures.
In February 2024, the Force announced plans to lift the ban on tinted glass permits with new guidelines.
It also revealed that ICT analysts and enforcement officers would undergo training to ensure nationwide compliance.
