Kayode Egbetokun, the inspector-general of police, has extended the deadline for the enforcement of the tinted glass permit to August 12, 2025.
Gatekeepers News reports that the move follows public feedback and severe concerns about the reactivation of the digital application process.
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the force public relations officer, in a statement on Saturday, said the move allows for improvements to the permit system and ensures no citizen is unfairly affected.
The force PRO added that the extension provides additional time for the force to enhance and refine the application process.
Adejobi noted that the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is working to improve both the physical and online application methods, with enhanced verification measures and streamlined procedures aimed at reducing delays and eliminating inconvenience.
He added, “Members of the public are reminded that the authorized platform for the application and renewal of the Tinted Glass Permit is accessible via http://www.possap.gov.ng.”
“Citizens are also encouraged to report all unauthorized or hidden charges as well as extortion in the course of application or biometric capturing to the appropriate Police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000.”
Adejobi urged citizens to report any unauthorised charges or extortion during the application or biometric capturing process.
