IGP Kayode Egbetokun
By John Egie
A ‘grace period’ of 53 days has been approved by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun for the enforcement of tinted glass permit nation wide.
Force Public Relations Officer, FPRO, DCP Olumiyiwa Adejobi announced this in a statement he issued yesterday in Abuja.
He said the approval followed a significant surge in applications through the official portal.
According to the statement, the surge reflected heightened public compliance with the directive.
The idea of the grace period was to allow sufficient time for meticulous scrutiny of applications to ensure that the permit was issued to eligible and qualified individuals.
The extension would also provide room for continued fine-tuning of verification processes, both digital and physical, to maintain the integrity of the permit system and prevent abuse.
“The Nigeria Police Force reaffirms that the authorised platform for the application remains https://possap.gov.ng and advises citizens to disregard any unofficial channels.
“Members of the public are further encouraged to report all forms of extortion, hidden charges, or unauthorised processing to the appropriate police authorities, including via the dedicated hotline: 09169967000,” the statement said.
