The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced a further extension of the grace period for enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement, moving the new enforcement date to October 2, 2025.
According to a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the decision was approved by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, following a significant surge in applications via the official portal, possap.gov.ng. The extension aims to ensure adequate time for thorough vetting of applications, guaranteeing that permits are issued only to eligible and qualified individuals in line with national security concerns.
The NPF said the extra time will also help refine both digital and physical verification processes to safeguard the integrity of the permit system and prevent abuse. Citizens have been urged to ignore unofficial application channels and to report any cases of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorized processing to the Police through the hotline 08147818871. The Force reaffirmed its commitment to balancing public convenience with strong security measures to protect all Nigerians.
