The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetoku, has ordered the reactivation and issuance of Tinted Glass Permits, TGP, nationwide using a digital platform.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, made this known in a statement on Wednesday, explaining that this development came as a response to widespread public complaints about motorists being harassed over the use of tinted windows.
The police spokesman further explained that providing a standardized system that accommodates legitimate use has become essential 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.
“The Nigeria Police Force, under the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has reactivated the issuance of Tinted Glass Permits, TGP, nationwide through a secure and user-friendly digital platform available at possap.gov.ng.
“This 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 regularizing factory-fitted tinted glass on vehicles.
“With modern automobiles increasingly manufactured with tinted windows, it has become essential to provide a standardized system that accommodates legitimate use while ensuring public safety.
“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 said.
FPRO 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.
