Nigeria Police Reactivate Tinted Glass
Permit Portal — Here’s How to Apply
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has reactivated its Tinted
Glass Permit (TGP) issuance system, allowing motorists to apply for permits
online via possap.gov.ng.
The move follows widespread complaints about police harassment over the use of
factory-fitted tinted windows.
In a statement on Wednesday, the police said the new
digital platform is secure, user-friendly, and aims to boost transparency,
public trust, and national security.
“The initiative is designed to accommodate legitimate
use of tinted glass while preventing misuse for criminal activities such as
armed robbery and kidnapping,” said the NPF, adding that the system also
supports law enforcement investigations and identification of authorised users.
Grace Period and Enforcement
The NPF has given a 30-day grace period,
starting May 1, 2025, for all vehicle owners to comply. Enforcement will
begin after the window closes. Officers found harassing or extorting motorists
during this period will face disciplinary action.
