The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL) have agreed to review the tinted glass policy to make it align with public interest and national security objectives.
The Chairman of NBA-SPIDEL, Prof. Paul Ananaba (SAN), announced this while addressing reporters yesterday in Lagos on the activities lined up for the SPIDEL 2025 Conference.
The NBA leader said the decision followed weeks of engagement between both parties after concerns were raised by Nigerians over the harassment of motorists whose vehicle windows were not completely transparent.
He said the association intervened after several reports of indiscriminate arrests and impoundment of vehicles by police officers enforcing the tinted permit directive.
Also, the Vance Centre for International Justice has proposed a partnership with NBA-SPIDEL to strengthen public interest law and institutionalise pro bono legal services across Africa.
The centre’s Africa Initiative Director, Mrs. Adaobi Egboka, spoke at a media briefing in Lagos.
She explained that the collaboration aims to promote access to justice, ethical legal practice, and professional development within the continent’s legal community.
