Tinted glass permit enforcement begins Oct 2 – Police spokesman

The Jigawa State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has announced that the enforcement of tinted glass permits will begin nationwide on October 2, 2025.

This was disclosed by the Command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Shi’isu Adam, in a statement made available to journalists on Saturday in Dutse, the state capital.

According to him, online registration and application for the permits is ongoing, and members of the public are urged to follow the stepwise process on possap.gov.ng for a smooth application.

He explained that applicants must create an account using their NIN, BVN, or TIN, verify their account via email, then log in to select the Tinted Glass Permit service and upload their vehicle details along with supporting documents.

“Applicants must carefully confirm all details before submitting their requests and making payments as directed on the portal,” SP Adam emphasised, urging accuracy for fast processing.

He added that after the application, vehicle inspection, and fingerprint biometric capturing will be scheduled at the designated Nigeria Police Force Intelligence Departments.

For Jigawa applicants, Adam confirmed that biometric capturing would be done free of charge at the State Intelligence Department, Police Headquarters, Dutse.

He also warned motorists against patronising unauthorised individuals attempting to exploit the permit process.

“This initiative promotes transparency and ensures road safety for all,” the PPRO said, stressing the command’s commitment to accountability.

The statement further called for cooperation from the public to ensure smooth enforcement and a safer driving environment statewide.

It added that compliance with the directive safeguards motorists legally and helps combat illegal window tinting.

“Those planning to apply are advised to begin registration promptly ahead of the enforcement date,” SP Adam stated.(Punch)
