The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has sanctioned an extension of the grace period for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement until the 12th of August, 2025.
Naijaonpoint reports that this extension follows numerous concerns and feedback from the public regarding the reactivation of the digital Tinted Glass Permit application process.
In a press release signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday,
Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in alignment with the force’s dedication to providing transparent, inclusive, and citizen-centred policing, it wishes to emphasise that it has taken into account the opinions of Nigerians.
Indeed, these opinions have played a crucial role in shaping the ongoing reviews of the process to ensure it is user-friendly, secure, and accessible to everyone.
The extension of enforcement is also designed to allow for further enhancements and improvements to the application process, ensuring that no member of the public faces undue disadvantage.
Adejobi stressed that the NPF is diligently working to simplify and enhance both the physical and contactless application options, including improved verification mechanisms and streamlined procedures to minimise delays and eliminate unnecessary inconveniences.
“Members of the public are reminded that the authorised platform for the application and renewal of the Tinted Glass Permit is accessible via http://www.possap.gov.ng.
“Citizens are also encouraged to report all unauthorized or hidden charges as well as extortion in the course of application or biometric capturing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000.
”The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to public safety, digital innovation, and continuous improvement in service delivery, and appreciates the cooperation and patience of the Nigerian people as these reforms are carried out,” the statement concluded.
