The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, has extended the grace period to begin enforcing the Tinted Glass Permit requirement until the 12th of August, 2025.

This was contained in a press release signed and made available to newsmen on Saturday.
Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in alignment with the force’s dedication to providing transparent, inclusive, and citizen-centred policing, it wishes to emphasise that it has taken into account the opinions of Nigerians.
