ABUJA (CONVERSEER) – The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced a further extension of the grace period for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement for vehicles with tinted windows, shifting the commencement date to 2 October 2025.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun approved the extension following a significant rise in permit applications via the official portal, indicating increased compliance by the public.
According to the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the decision will allow more time for thorough scrutiny of applications to ensure that only eligible and qualified individuals receive the permit, in line with national security considerations.
The extension will also enable continued improvements to both digital and physical verification processes to preserve the integrity of the system and prevent abuse.
