Police extend tinted glass permit deadline to August 12

The Nigeria Police Force has extended the grace period for enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement to August 12, 2025, following widespread feedback from the public.

Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, announced the extension on Saturday in a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, citing the need for a more citizen-friendly and accessible application process.

According to the statement, the decision reflects the NPF’s commitment to “transparent, inclusive, and citizen-focused policing” and comes amid ongoing technical and policy reviews of the permit system.

According to the police, the extension will give room for “enhancements and refinements” to both physical and digital application processes, including improved verification and reduced delays.

The Force has not ignored the voices of Nigerians. Rather, these voices have been instrumental in guiding ongoing reviews of the process to ensure it remains user-friendly, secure, and accessible to all,” the statement said.

Nigerians are advised to apply or renew their permits exclusively via the official portal, and report any incidents of extortion or unauthorized charges encountered during the process.

The Police reaffirmed their dedication to public safety, digital innovation, and improved service delivery, urging continued cooperation from the public during the reform process.
