Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has postponed the enforcement of the tinted glass permit requirement for vehicles until October 2, 2025. Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the extension comes in response to a surge in applications on the official portal, indicating greater public compliance. He said, “The Inspector General of Police has approved a further extension of the grace period for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows, with the new enforcement date now set for October 2,2025. “This decision follows 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. “ Adejobi said the extension would also enable further fine-tuning of both digital and physical verification processes to preserve the integrity of the permit system and prevent abuse. He said, “Members of the public are further encouraged to report all forms of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorised processing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000. “The Nigeria Police Force appreciates the cooperation of the Nigerian people and remains committed to balancing public convenience with robust security measures for the safety of all.” This marks the second extension granted by the police since announcing the enforcement of the tinted glass permit in late April. At the time, motorists were given a 30-day window starting May 1 to apply for the permit or regularise existing ones.
