The Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved an extension of the grace period for enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit to August 12, 2025.
The extension follows numerous concerns and feedback from members of the public regarding the reactivation of the digital application system for the permit.
According to a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Saturday, the Nigeria Police Force emphasized its responsiveness to the concerns of Nigerians and assured the public that ongoing reforms are being guided by citizen input.
“The Force wishes to affirm that it 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 read.
IGP Egbetokun said the extension was necessary to allow for enhancements in the application system, ensuring no Nigerian is unfairly affected by the new enforcement process.
“We are working to simplify and improve both the physical and contactless application options. These improvements include enhanced verification mechanisms and streamlined procedures to reduce delays and eliminate undue inconveniences,” he stated.
The police further advised members of the public to use the official portal www.possap.gov.ng for the application and renewal of their tinted glass permits. The statement also warned against extortion and unauthorized fees during the application or biometric capturing processes.
Citizens were encouraged to report any such activities to the Police through 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.
