The Nigeria Police Force has extended the deadline for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement to August 12, 2025, in response to widespread public feedback.
Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, announced the extension in a statement released on Saturday by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi. He noted that the move was aimed at creating a more user-friendly and accessible application process.
The statement emphasized that the decision underscores the NPF’s dedication to transparent, inclusive, and citizen-centered policing, and aligns with ongoing technical and policy evaluations of the permit system.
According to the police, the extension will give room for “enhancements and refinements” to both physical and digital application processes, including improved verification and reduced delays.
“The Force 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 said.
Nigerians are advised to apply or renew their permits exclusively via the official portal, and report any incidents of extortion or unauthorized charges encountered during the process.
The Police reaffirmed their dedication to public safety, digital innovation, and improved service delivery, urging continued cooperation from the public during the reform process.
