The Nigeria Police Force has further extended the grace period for the enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit requirement, shifting the commencement date to 2 October 2025.
This was announced in a statement made available to Uptown Press on Monday by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on behalf of the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun.
According to the statement, the decision followed a significant surge in permit applications through the official portal, reflecting growing public compliance with the directive. The extension, the IGP explained, will allow more time for thorough vetting to ensure permits are granted only to eligible individuals, in line with national security considerations.
The Force also stated that the additional time would be used to fine-tune both digital and physical verification processes to preserve the integrity of the permit system and prevent abuse.
Citizens are reminded that the only authorised application platform is https://possap.gov.ng, and they are advised to disregard any unofficial channels.
The statement further urged members of the public to report cases of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorised processing to the Police 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,” the statement read.
