The enforcement of the tinted glass permit has been extended to Thursday, October 2, 2025, by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Olumuyiwa Adejobi, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), in a statement on Monday in Abuja, said the extension was approved by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Kayode Egbetokun.
The tinted glass permit is a requirement for vehicles with tinted windows. It is part of efforts by the police to address insecurity in the country.
Explaining the rationale behind the extension of the enforcement, the police said it was due to “a significant surge in applications via the official portal, reflecting heightened public compliance with the directive.”
“In light of this, the Force considers it imperative 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,” the statement said.
The police noted that the extension would 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.
It reaffirmed that the authorised platform for the application remains https://possap.gov.ng and advises citizens to disregard any unofficial channels.
“Members of the public are further encouraged to report all forms of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 08147818871,” it stated.
