The Nigeria Police have reactivated the 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.
“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,” Adejobi said.
Adejobi explained that this development came as a response
to widespread public complaints about the harassment of motorists over the use
of tinted windows.
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.
