TINTED GLASS PERMIT ENFORCEMENT EXTENDED TO OCTOBER 2, 2025

The Nigeria Police Force has further extended the grace period for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows to October 2, 2025. This decision was made by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, following a significant surge in applications via the official portal.

Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement that the extension is to allow sufficient time for the meticulous scrutiny of applications to ensure that the permit is issued only to eligible and qualified individuals, in line with national security considerations. Adejobi noted that the extension will also provide room for the continued fine-tuning of verification processes, both digital and physical, to maintain the integrity of the permit system and prevent abuse.

The Nigeria Police Force has reiterated that the authorized platform for the application remains and advises citizens to disregard any unofficial channels. Adejobi further encouraged members of the public to report all forms of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000.

Adejobi appreciated the cooperation of the Nigerian people and said the Force remains committed to balancing public convenience with robust security measures for the safety of all. The police force is working to ensure that the permit system is implemented in a way that prevents abuse while also ensuring public safety.
