ZONE 7 POLICE HEADQUARTERS
PRESS RELEASE
FULL ENFORCEMENT OF TINTED GLASS PERMIT BEGINS NATIONWIDE; OCTOBER 2, 2025
The Nigeria Police Force, Zone 7 Headquarters, Abuja, acting on the directive of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, wishes to inform the general public particularly residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and Niger States that the full enforcement of the Tinted Glass Permit (TGP) will commence nationwide on Thursday, 2nd October, 2025.
This enforcement is in strict compliance with the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act, 2004, which remains a vital security regulation used to curb criminal activities and enhance public safety.
The previous grace period granted to vehicle owners to obtain or renew their permits has now expired. Accordingly, all vehicles with tinted glasses must present valid and verifiable permit documents when requested by enforcement officers.
IMPLICATIONS FOR MOTORISTS
• Operating a vehicle with tinted glass without an approved permit is now an offence.
• Routine checks will be conducted across FCT and Niger State by designated enforcement teams.
• Defaulters risk vehicle impoundment and possible legal prosecution.
To avoid sanctions, motorists are strongly advised to apply for or revalidate their Tinted Glass Permit (TGP) via the official police portal:
www.possap.gov.ng
Compliance with this directive is not only a legal duty but a collective effort toward ensuring public safety and national security. We therefore call on all residents to show patriotism by supporting law enforcement personnel during this exercise.
