The Nigeria Police Force has decided to review the issuance of tinted glass permits, previously banned in June 2022.
This decision would enhance national security and curb criminal activities facilitated by the misuse of tinted glass.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, ICT Analysts and Enforcement Officers nationwide will undergo comprehensive training on the 29th of February, 2024, in preparation for the reopening of tinted glass permit issuance.
The Police Headquarters in Abuja announced that stringent measures will be implemented to prevent abuse and ensure strict compliance with guidelines governing the issuance and use of tinted glass permits.
The training aims to equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge to regulate the registration process, guide registrants on the use of the portal where required, attend to complaints from the public, and enforce compliance effectively.
The proposed tinted glass permit will incorporate distinctive features aimed at enhancing enforcement efficiency and security. These features include a QR code linked to a central database for real-time verification, unique serial numbers correlated with vehicle and owner details, and a digital hologram ensuring authenticity and integrity, among others.
The guidelines for the issuance of tinted permits and the use of tinted glass will strictly adhere to the provisions of the Motor Vehicles (Prohibition of Tinted Glass) Act 1991 and other relevant laws. This strategic approach underscores the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to prioritize public safety while upholding individual rights and national security interests.
The Nigeria Police Force has committed to providing updates to the general public on the implementation of the reviewed process of tinted glass permit issuance, ensuring transparency and accountability in its efforts to maintain internal security.
