Tinted Glass Permit: Step-by-Step Application Guide

The Nigeria Police Force has resumed the issuance of tinted glass permits across the country and unveiled a comprehensive nine-step digital guide to streamline the application process for motorists.

The move followed a directive from the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, in response to growing concerns over the harassment of vehicle owners with factory-fitted tinted windows by law enforcement agents.
