The Nigeria Police Force has announced that it will commence full enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit (TGP) nationwide from Thursday, October 2, 2025.
According to a statement issued by ASP Mohammed Halima, Police Public Relations Officer, Zone 7 Headquarters, Abuja, the directive follows the order of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun, and will be strictly implemented across the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Niger State, and other parts of the country.
The enforcement is in line with the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 2004, which the police say remains a crucial security measure to curb criminal activities and enhance public safety.
The grace period earlier given to motorists to obtain or renew their permits has now expired. Consequently, vehicle owners with tinted glasses are required to carry valid and verifiable permit documents when requested by enforcement officers.
The police warned that:
* Driving with tinted glass without an approved permit now constitutes an offence.
* Routine checks will be conducted in designated areas across the FCT and Niger State.
* Defaulters risk having their vehicles impounded and may face legal prosecution.
Motorists have been urged to apply for or revalidate their permits through the official police portal at www.possap.gov.ng to avoid sanctions.
The statement emphasised that compliance is both a legal responsibility and a civic duty to strengthen national security.
