The Nigeria Police Force has reactivated the issuance of Tinted Glass Permits,TGP, nationwide.
The Inspector General of Police,IGP Kayode Egbetokun, gave the directive in a statement issued by the force public relations officer,Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
He said the initiative comes in response to widespread public complaints about the harassment of motorists over the use of tinted windows and reflects the need for a clear, transparent, and accountable process for regularising factory-fitted tinted glass on vehicles.
The police spokesman further explained that it has become essential to provide a standardized system that accommodates legitimate use while ensuring public safety.
According to the statement, applicants can now process their permits online, with identity verification integrated through the National Identification Number, NIN, and Tax Identification Number, TIN, alongside biometric capture and background checks.
“To ensure a smooth transition, a 30-day grace period has been approved, effective from May 1st, 2025, within which motorists are expected to comply. Enforcement will commence at the end of this period,” Adejobi added.
He further warned that officers found engaging in extortion or harassment in the course of enforcement will be decisively dealt with in accordance with extant disciplinary procedures.
