The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has approved an extension for the enforcement of the tinted glass permit requirement for vehicles, shifting the deadline to October 2, 2025.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, said the decision follows a surge in applications through the official portal, indicating increased public compliance with the directive.
According to the statement, the extension will allow sufficient time for thorough scrutiny of applications to ensure permits are issued only to eligible individuals, in line with national security considerations.
The police said the additional time will also be used to fine-tune both digital and physical verification processes to preserve the integrity of the system and prevent abuse.
Members of the public are urged to report any cases of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the appropriate police authorities.
The Nigeria Police Force expressed appreciation for public cooperation and reaffirmed its commitment to balancing public convenience with strong security measures for the safety of all.
